John Zorn: The Bagatelles vol. 1 - Mary Halvorson Quartet [#5211]
May 2015, John Zorn composed 300 new tunes that were eventually collected into a book of music he called The Bagatelles. After five years of performances around the world in venues large and small, the choicest ensembles have gone into the studio and the results are some of the most exciting and varied music Zorn has ever presented. This first volume features the remarkable Mary Halvorson Quartet. Dynamic, fiery and endlessly imaginative, this is a fascinating first peek into the world of Zorn’s Bagatelles.

John Zorn: The Bagatelles vol. 2 - Erik Friedlander and Michael Nicolas [#5212]
From March to May 2015, John Zorn composed 300 new tunes that were eventually collected into a book of music he called The Bagatelles. After five years of performances around the world in venues large and small, the choicest ensembles have gone into the studio and the results are some of the most exciting and varied music Zorn has ever presented. The second volume features the telepathic interplay of two of the most important cellists working today—Erik Friedlander and Michael Nicolas. Touching, sensitive and deeply heartfelt, this is a further view into the world of Zorn’s Bagatelles.
