À paraître en décembre : Brian Marsella Trio, Ou Phrontis.
Ou Phrontis means “Who Cares” in Greek. Inscribed on the lintel
above the door of T.E. Lawrence’s cottage at Clouds Hill it symbolized a
place where Lawrence felt at home, free from the cares of the world.
This fourth CD from the dynamic piano trio of Brian Marsella, Jorge
Roeder, and Ches Smith (Suite for Piano, The Fourth Way, Ballades),
presents eight challenging Zorn compositions inspired by stoic
philosophy and science. The telepathic interplay and virtuosity of these
remarkable musical masters is on full display here—a stunning
collection of music that makes you think as much as it makes you feel.

Painkiller: Samsara [#9316]
Originally formed in 1991, PainKiller is a legendary trio that forged a completely unique language blending jazz, metal, grindcore, ambient, dub, and so much more. Recording again for the first time in over a quarter century, these three master musicians have come up with an intense new musical direction. Mick Harris, performing on his trademark electronics, has created a rich tapestry of beats and sounds that have inspired Laswell and Zorn to some exciting new heights. Samsara presents three old friends exploring some bold new sounds.

New Masada Quartet, Volume Three [#9315]
This long-awaited third volume featuring John Zorn's newest and most exciting ensemble, New Masada Quartet was recorded live at Roulette, one of Zorn's home bases in NYC. White hot and razor sharp, an intense electricity is in the air from the very first note. Resplendent with burning solos, telepathic group interaction, heartfelt lyricism, hypnotic grooves, and of course Zorn’s ever-surprising conducting techniques, this is truly one of the most transcendent sets they have yet performed. With an attentive and enthusiastic packed house cheering the musicians on to greater and greater heights, a crackling live energy brings the Masada music to life like never before. This is Masada at its passionate and virtuosic best! Essential.

Hannigan Sings Zorn Volume Two.
Volume Two documenting Barbara Hannigan’s collaboration with Downtown alchemist John Zorn presents four dramatic pieces for voice and ensemble—three composed expressly for Hannigan! Liber Loagaeth, a meditative composition for voice and string quartet that lies somewhere between a spell and a prayer—Star Catcher, a powerful tour-de-force for voice, piano, and rhythm section—Ab Eo, Quod, scored for voice, cello, vibes, electronics, and drums—and a Zorn classic, Pandora’s Box, his dramatic take on the Lulu legend, and who better to interpret it than the definitive 21st century Lulu—Barbara Hannigan! A fabulous and varied program highlighting the productive and inspiring relationship of one of the world’s greatest sopranos with one of our most adventurous and uncompromising composers! 1. Liber Loagaeth 2. Star Catcher 3. Ab Eo, Quod 4. Pandora's Box.

John Zorn: Ballades [#9310]
This third CD from the dynamic piano trio of Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder, and Ches Smith is a delightful surprise—and one of Zorn’s greatest achievements. Exploring a wide variety of tempi, moods, and feelings the compositions dive deeply into the parameters of melody, harmony, rhythm, and texture, stretching the ballade format to its limits and beyond. The trio, three essential members of Zorn’s inner circle, performs with passion, imagination, virtuosity, and a telepathic improvisational interplay at the very highest level. A stunning collection of modern Ballades performed by three of the greatest young musicians in the Downtown scene. Essential!

John Zorn // Julian Lage/Gyan Riley/Bill Frisell, Lamentations.
Zorn’s lush and seductive compositions for the magical trio of Frisell-Lage-Riley are some of his most beautiful 21st century creations, and this seventh CD in their ever-expanding series is their best yet. A dramatic and colorful tribute to the expressive Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, Lamentations contains four extended pieces that unfold like exotic flowers—gorgeous music with a dark philosophical edge. These master musicians—three of the greatest guitarists in the world—work together with a profound symbiosis, forging a unique orchestral sound world unlike any other. Stunningly beautiful music that will make you think, dream, and that will nourish your soul. 1. With Blinding Sight 2. A Clown in the Moon 3. Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night 4. Close of Day.

John Zorn, The Hermetic Organ Volume 12 - The Bosch Requiem.
Recorded at the Grote Kerk in Den Bosch as part of Zorn’s 70th birthday celebration at November Music in Den Bosch, this exciting performance pays tribute to one of Zorn’s seminal influences—the 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch. Performing on two different organs simultaneously, running from one to the other, this is one of the most bizarre installments in the entire Hermetic Organ series. The CD begins with a rare private performance of Zorn alone in the church exploring and stretching the organ’s capabilities. For the evening performance, A Pilgrimage Through Hell, Zorn’s dear friend and colleague of over thirty years John Medeski joins as his organ assistant, and the two of them literally pull out all the stops! 1. Part One: Crossing the River Styx 2. Part Two: A Pilgrimage Through Hell.
