Customer Reviews of Milford Graves & John Zorn: 50th Birthday 2
A sublime noise, captured live On this CD, Milford Graves plays percussion and John Zorn plays saxophone. All of the songs are live and improvised. The album was recorded at Tonic in New York City in September 2003, during a month-long celebration of Zorn's music. This album is fast, crazy, and fused together in a strange and beautiful way. There's no other album that sounds like this.
Milford Graves is an intricate drummer with a spiritual sensibility. He begins a few tracks by singing a spontaneous hymn. His percussion is based on a wide range of world music styles, blended together into a free-form technique that seems to cover about three or four ethnic sources at once.
Zorn, on the other hand, is a court jester with a noise-maker in his hands. He'll play with Graves sometimes, and against him at other times. He loves to play along with a deep, jazzy sound --- and then cut to squeals and shrieks to break the rhythm apart.
It's a breathtaking performance. Of course, it's not for everyone. To many people, this kind of high-speed improvisation just sounds like a wall of useless noise. But to me, it's an energetic, warm, unique performance.
