Album Notes & Community Reviews
John Zorn's acclaimed acoustic quartet aimed to merge the radical free-jazz principles of Ornette Coleman with traditional Jewish musical modes. 'Alef' is the first in an extensive sequence of studio recordings, instantly establishing the group's incredibly dynamic interplay and their successful reimagining of Klezmer traditions within a contemporary avant-garde context.
