Cobra
CD (Item 427701) Hatology (Switzerland), 1985 — Condition: New Copy
One of John Zorn's best-known "game" pieces – served up here in both a studio and live performance! Zorn doesn't play anything on the recordings, but acts as the "prompter" – a conductor of sorts, encouraging improvisations from a variety of players that include Jim Staley on trombone, Bill Frisell on electric guitar, Elliott Sharp on doubleneck guitar, Arto Lindsay on guitar, Wayne Horvitz on piano, Anthony Coleman on organ and harpsichord, Christian Marclay on turntables, Zeena Parkins on harp, and Bobby Previte on percussion. The lineup is amazing – really a "who's who" of the New York art music scene in the mid 80s – and there's a nice use of turntables and tapes on both performances – making for sonic interplay that goes way beyond the usual Zorn recording! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | ||||||
