John Zorn + Jamie Saft Trio | Lelahel

Per­fect for a rainy sun­day morn­ing.
An amaz­ing track off the col­lab­o­ra­tive mod­ern jazz album of John Zorn and Jamie Saft Trio. Lela­hel is sup­posed to be an angel of the zodiac exer­cis­ing domin­ion over love, art, sci­ence and for­tune. The pic­to­ri­als of deserted streets, dirt-strewn alley­ways, iso­lated roads and an assort­ment of var­i­ous time-lapse pho­tographs cap­ture a mood that — like the bit­ter­sweet music — sug­gests oth­er­wise. Lone­li­ness echoes in the air as silent foot­prints pass through once famil­iar places.
