The Mockingbird - John Zorn (CD)

Featuring the magical sonorities of Bill Frisell’s guitar in a heavenly tapestry of harp (Carol Emmanuel) and vibraphone (Kenny Wollesen), the Gnostic Trio is one of the most sublime ensembles in John Zorn’s ever-expanding universe.

The Mockingbird presents gorgeous and intimate chamber music touching upon themes of innocence, adventure, childhood and longing that unfold like an exotic flower.

Inspired by the charming character Scout from the American classic “To Kill A Mockingbird” and tempered by a folk-like simplicity, Zorn and company spins a hypnotic web of melodic beauty to soothe the restless spirit.
