Saxophonist and composer John Zorn has a hand in so many different and contrasting musical ventures that it's hard to keep track of them all. From the Klezmer-meets-Ornette Coleman sound of his Masada quartet to classical compositions for orchestra to a caustic fusion of improvised jazz and heavy metal, the only constants in Zorn's approach are diversity and integrity. This volume of FILMWORKS features soundtrack music from two very different films. The first is PORT OF LAST RESORT, a documentary about the 1930s Jewish refugees who, fleeing Nazi persecution, resettled in the Shanghai province of China. Zorn's music for this film consists of beautiful, wistful miniatures that delicately combine elements of Klezmer, Chinese folk music, and American film noir music, scored for violin, electric guitar, pipa (a Chinese lute), cello and acoustic bass. The second soundtrack is from LATIN BOYS GO TO HELL, and is a collection of short pieces written for two master percussionists. These are alternately shimmering, ghostly mood pieces and sultry, pulsating tapestries of rhythm. This disc presents Zorn's craft at its most accessible, yet remains uncompromising.
