Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by Ren茅 Daumal's surrealist novel, the prolific avant-garde composer John Zorn assembled a unique sextet featuring vibraphone, harp, and organ for this release. The resulting compositions are deeply mystical and ethereal, blending chamber jazz with esoteric, repetitive modern classical elements.
