Our Take

Album: John Zorn - Calculus John Zorn is back, baby, and he's brought his mathematical prowess with him on Calculus. This avant-garde jazz maestro never fails to surprise, and with this album, he takes us on a rollercoaster ride through equations and algorithms. The opening track, "Derivative Blues," sets the tone perfectly with its quirky time signatures and frenetic saxophone solos. Zorn's ability to blend complex mathematical concepts with toe-tapping rhythms is truly a sight to behold. "Integration Funk" is a standout track that showcases Zorn's versatility as a composer. The fusion of funk grooves and calculus-inspired melodies is a stroke of genius, leaving the listener both perplexed and thoroughly entertained. The album takes a darker turn with "Limit Theorems," a hauntingly beautiful piece that delves into the depths of mathematical infinity. Zorn's ability to evoke such powerful emotions through his music is a testament to his skill as a composer. Overall, Calculus is a challenging yet rewarding listen for those willing to delve into the world of mathematical jazz. Zorn's innovative approach to music-making is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who dare to take the plunge. This album is not for the faint of heart, but for those who appreciate creativity and intellect in their music, it is a must-listen.
