John Zorn

An astonishing collection of three concert music miniatures featuring a tight crew of virtuosos from Zorn’s inner circle. Focusing on the brilliant cellist Jay Campbell, soon to be a new music superstar, along with the equally masterful Michael Nicolas, Chris Otto and Stephen Gosling, these three powerful compositions take chamber music to a whole new level of intensity. Featuring three realizations of Zorn’s infamous com- position for 2 celli Ouroboros (two featuring guest percussionist Tyshawn Sorey) along with his canonic puzzle Occam’s Razor and the nine metaphysical aphorisms com- prising the piano trio The Aristos, this some of Zorn’s very best music for cello―vis- ceral, intense and emotionally powerful.
