Zorn, John - The Classic Guide To Strategy CD
SKU
TZ7305
''Zorn's infamous solo music for saxophone and duckcalls brings together his obsessive love for cartoon music, free jazz and musique concrete in a passionate and astonishing heterophony... using self-invented techniques, bizarre effects and unusual tools, Zorn created his own personal instrumental language -- instantly recognizable and still breathtaking over a decade later.'' This reissues both volumes of these long out of print lps on one CD. ''This music is both exhilarating and frightening... largely coming out of the solo music of Anthony Braxton and Evan Parker, the cartoon music of Carl Stalling, and of course the Lyrebird record on Folkways (an absolute classic), it is clear to me that the dedication displayed in developing this language is such that I will never be able to play quite like this again, with this precision, speed or intensity. So it is more than fortunate that we have these recordings documenting my commitment to a language that only one person spoke and no one understood.'' --Zorn. [Tzadik]
