Archery (1982)

Musica orchestrale da un'altra dimensione. Spesso trovabile attorno a prezzi ben superiori a 100 dollari, l'LP del 1981 di "Archery" è uno dei più ricercati oggetti da collezione nel catalogo di Zorn. Seguendo la falsariga del celeberrimo "Cobra", "Archery" è il primo Game Piece in larga scala di Zorn e comprende un incredibile supergruppo, tra cui: Eugene Chadbourne, Bill Laswell, George Lewis, Bob Ostertag, Kramer, Tom Cora, Wayne Horvitz e ovviamente il compositore stesso al sassofono e ai duck calls. Disponibile in una nuovissima edizione rimasterizzata, completa delle note originali, inserti, foto delle session e oltre un'ora di inediti outtakes.

"Più d'ogni altra cosa, questa musica porta alla mente l'imprevedibilità, la tensione di vita e morte dei combattimenti nelle giungle del Vietnam." (Colonnello americano in una lettera a John Zorn, 1981 circa)

Orchestral music from another dimension. Often fetching prices well over $100, the 1981 LP release of Archery is one of the most sought-after collector’s items in the Zorn catalog. Leading the way towards Zorn’s most well known and oft-performed composition Cobra, Archery is Zorn’s first large scale game piece and features an incredible all-star band, including, among others: Eugene Chadbourne, Bill Laswell, George Lewis, Bob Ostertag, Kramer, Tom Cora, Wayne Horvitz and of course the composer himself on saxophone and duck calls. Available in a newly remastered edition, complete with the original notes, inserts, session photos and over an hour of newly discovered outtakes.


"More than anything else, this music brings to mind the unpredictability, the life and death tension of combat in the jungles of Vietnam." (Retired US Army Colonel in a letter to John Zorn, ca. 1981)
