Album Notes & Community Reviews
John Zorn oversees this highly conceptual fusion of blistering avant-garde jazz and traditional Chinese folk music motifs. Relying on his distinct conducted improvisation techniques, the album is a sparse, unpredictable, and entirely avant-garde cross-cultural experiment.
