Annoncés chez Tzadik :

John Zorn: On Leaves Of Grass [#8320]
Following up on the success of 2013’s Dreamachines, the third release by the classic Nova Express quartet is inspired by and dedicated to American poetic genius and father of free verse Walt Whitman. Combining the hypnotic swirls of minimalism, beautiful lyricism and the free intensity of improvisation, On Leaves of Grass is an exhilarating addition to Zorn’s growing collection of mystical transcendental works. An emotional and virtuosic outing from this Downtown supergroup performing music that speaks to the eternal. (Release date: July 2014)

Zion 80: Adramelech: The Book of Angels vol. 22 [#8319]
Zion 80 is the brainchild of guitarist Jon Madof, a wildly popular project that seamlessly blends the Afro pop stylings of the legendary Fela Kuti with the Jewish tradition. Featuring an exciting 11-piece all-star band, Madof masterfully blends horns, guitars, keyboards and percussion, mixing the polyrhythmic intensity of Afrobeat with the freewheeling madness of the Downtown scene. A one of a kind ascent into madness, Madof’s creative arrangements of 8 tunes from Zorn’s Book of Angels are spiritual and endlessly exciting. Workshopped at The Stone and recorded at Bill Laswell’s studio in New Jersey, this is grooving Jewish music for the 21st century! ESSENTIAL.

John Zorn: The Testament Of Solomon [#8321]
For their fourth release, Zorn’s most intimate and spiritual 21st century ensemble returns with a melodic and open book of music reminiscent of the Masada music. Drawing inspiration from the Biblical Song of Solomon and originally intended as a companion piece to Zorn’s vocal masterpiece Shir Hashirim, the music is regal, sensual and romantic—a magical blend of classical, jazz and folk music. There has never been a group like the Gnostic Trio, and The Testament of Solomon is a unique CD in their catalog, filled with strong solos, telepathic interplay and a charming lyricism. (Release date: August 2014)
