THE GNOSTIC TRIO: THE MYSTERIES

John Zorn

RIO/Avant-Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Well, possibly you already know that John Zorn is as much a contemporay "serious" composer as a musical chameleon that goes through a wide variety of genres and styles from one album to another. And if he's capable of doing this, is because the ever rotating collaboration of the most amazing artists in each field of music.

In this album, the purely instrumental trio, in which stands out the guitarist Bill Frisell, takes us to a territory akin not to jazz, but rather (in my ears at least) to the hipnotic suggestion of kraut-rockers Popol Vuh, a soundscape generated by a crystal-clear exposition and continuous recombination of minimal melodic and rythmic cells that grow and evolve in a larger organism: first each track, then the entire record.

Not a "desert island record", but a worthy addition to the open-minded progger collection.
