Yankees

by Derek Bailey, George Lewis & John Zorn

Yankees cover art

Documenting a spectacularly chaotic convergence of European and American avant-garde sensibilities, this album captures highly spontaneous acoustic improvisation. 'Yankees' features the profoundly unorthodox, scraping guitar techniques of Derek Bailey colliding aggressively with the explosive saxophone squawks of John Zorn and the fluid trombone of George Lewis. The challenging, entirely unstructured recording pushes the absolute boundaries of instrumental dialogue and abstract noise.
