John Zorn - In Search Of The MiraculousInspired by esoteric spiritual
practices, white magic, ritual, traditional myths and ancient legends,
Zorn brings together a life long interest in mysticism with powerful
lyricism to fashion this dynamic and evocative series of Odes for the
New Millennium. Featuring the landmark extended composition The Magus,
one of Zorn's most exciting new works, the music takes on a
scintillating new edge—dramatic, hypnotic and mysterious. Performed by
the remarkable Alhambra Trio enhanced by special guests Kenny Wollesen
on vibraphone, Carol Emanuel on harp and Shanir Blumenkranz on Fender
bass, In Search of the Miraculous is a deeply moving listening
experience—ecstatic music for young and old that touches on the sublime! Personnel:
Rob Burger: Piano, Organ
Greg Cohen: Acoustic Bass
Ben Perowsky: Drums
Kenny Wollesen: Vibraphone
Shanir Blumenkranz: Electric Bass
