Who knew that John Zorn has turned out to be a brilliant composer of classic jazz piano trios? Probably lots of folks, and I'm just playing catch-up... Zorn has written and produced a formidable array of piano trios, with absolutely stunning painists like Craig Taborn (Flaga), Stephen Gosling (In the Hall of Mirrors), Kris Davis (Bagatelles), and most fruitfully, Brian Marsella (Buer, Bagatelles, Calculus, and many, many others)... Tyshawn Sorey contributes fantastic drums in these settings as well (In the Hall of Mirrors, Flaga)... great stuff...
