Our Take
In his latest offering, John Zorn takes us on a sonic journey through labyrinthine paths and twisted melodies in "A Garden of Forking Paths." With each track, Zorn proves once again why he's a master of avant-garde jazz, blending elements of free improvisation with intricate compositions. From the opening notes of "Maze of Shadows," Zorn sets the tone for the album with his signature saxophone wails and unpredictable shifts in tempo. The title track, "A Garden of Forking Paths," is a cacophony of dissonant harmonies and frenetic drumming that will leave you feeling like you've stumbled into a musical maze. Zorn's collaborators on this album, including the legendary drummer Joey Baron and the virtuosic pianist Sylvie Courvoisier, bring their own unique voices to the mix, adding layers of complexity to Zorn's already dense compositions. Tracks like "Uncertainty Principle" showcase the chemistry between the musicians, as they navigate intricate time signatures and labyrinthine structures with ease. Overall, "A Garden of Forking Paths" is a challenging listen that rewards repeated listens. You may find yourself lost in Zorn's musical maze, but the journey is well worth the effort. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let John Zorn take you on a whimsical, twisted journey through his garden of forking paths.
