The Bagatelles vol. 5 - Kris Davis Quartet

 John Zorn: The Bagatelles vol. 5 - Kris Davis Quartet [#5221]

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. Volume 5 features Kris Davis, one of the greatest new voices in piano jazz. Joining her in this dynamic quartet is Mary Halvorson, one of the leaders of contemporary jazz guitar along with the brilliant rhythm section of Drew Gress and Kenny Wollesen. Beautiful arrangements, delicate and thoughtful solos and a stunning lyricism distinguish this fabulous new installment of John Zorn’s “Bagatelles.”
