The Gnostic Preludes: Music of Splendor

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Introducing a brand new ensemble dubbed The Gnostic Trio, the incredibly prolific composer explores a remarkably serene, celestial approach to chamber jazz. Featuring the highly unusual instrumentation of harp, vibraphone, and acoustic guitar, the compositions are deeply meditative and heavily reliant on rippling, minimalist arpeggios. The album acts as a beautiful, profoundly spiritual departure from the chaotic dissonance that frequently defines Zorn's catalog.
