A sublime and transcendent memorial to one of Zorn’s earliest mentors’ Ennio Morricone.

Featuring the soulful guitar of Bill Frisell set within the magical sonorities of vibraphone, harp and bells the music takes on an epic orchestral sweep with the added presence of special guest keyboard wizard John Medeski on organ and piano.

Filled with beautiful harmonies, a driving rhythmic pulse and stunning lyri-cism, this is some of the most lush and spiritual music Zorn has ever written. Truly music of the Angels’intimate chamber music to heal an aching heart performed by one of the world’s most ethereal ensembles.

Tracks: Gnosis / Poimandres / Dance of the Cross / Three Forms of First Thought / Kephalaia / Parthian Songs / Prayer of the Messenger / Sophia=Wisdom / A Garment of Light
