Nova Express (2011)

Following up on seeds first planted in the depths of the Interzone conspiracy, Nova Express combines the quirky atonal lyricism of Zorn's classical music with the cut up techniques of Naked City and the intimate virtuosity of the Masada songbook. Scored for a modern jazz quartet of vibes, piano, bass and drums, these episodic, dynamic and moody compositions feature some of Zorn's strongest writing. Performed by an all-star group of four downtown masters, this is an exciting new sound from the world of John Zorn. Modern chamber music filled with beautiful details and dramatic passions composed and conducted by our East Village musical alchemist. All compositions by John Zorn, performed by: John Medeski (piano); Kenny Wollesen (vibes); Trevor Dunn (bass); Joey Baron (drums) Al ontbreekt een blazer, de spirit van een plaat als Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" klinkt door, vooral ook doordat Wollesens imponerende vibrafoonspel herinnert aan dat van Bobby Hutcherson op genoemde plaat.
