John Zorn - Mycale (Masada Book Two Angles) (2010)
John Zorn has been recently reinterpreting the Masada songbook thru different lenses. Mycale is a record that stands out as unique even amongst the vast catalog of John
Zorn.
This time Zorn presents 11 tracks based on the Book of Angels in a capella form, arranged
and performed by four female singers (Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, Basya
Schechter (leader of the superb Pharaoh's Daughter), Sofía Rei
Koutsovitis and Malika Zarra)
The Masada songbook is a series of jazz /world music interpretation using "Jewish scales" and performed by musicians hand picked by Zorn himself !
Mycale is a beautiful album and offers some of the most captivating vocals and harmonies all sung is a Capella style. These ladies create some huge moods and atmosphere and is so far away from anything I have ever heard before.
John Zorn is a musical explorer who does not conform to any genre or style....and that Is aht I find so intriguing about this New York based musician.
I want to pick up more in this series and highly recommend any of these to you !
This one is a winner and is an ULTIMATE HEADPHONE EXPERIENCE album !
