About this product

Poof is composer, saxophonist and flutist Henry Threadgill's latest work for his band, Zooid, his musical laboratory for the last two decades. Their last together, In for a Penny, In for a Pound, was the winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Music, whose committee called it Incha highly original work in which notated music and improvisation mesh in a sonic tapestry that seems the very expression of modern American life.Inch The New York Times has called Threadgill a Inchcomposer and bandleader of intense, unyielding originality, nobody's idea of a compromise.Inch At the age of 77, he continues to challenge himself to create music that is pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The new work is the latest in Threadgill's ongoing exploration of compositions and group improvisations based around what he calls Incha serial intervallic language.Inch In this scheme, each musician is assigned a series of intervals on which to improvise, effectively creating an intertwining, polyphonic swirl that encourages each musician to play with an ear for counterpoint. The music often seems teetering on edge and is as knotty and inscrutable as always, but always propelled by an off-kiltered swing that is a consistent hallmark of Threadgill's works. Album Tracks 1. Come and Go 2. Poof 3. Beneath the Bottom 4. Happenstance 5. Now and Then

It takes a particular and extreme level of skill and dedication to perform virtuoso works for unaccompanied solo violin; suffice it to say these are qualities held by George Zacharia's without doubt. This is a tour-de-force of musicianship and technique - and wonderful music too. Bartok's Sonata is presented in it's original version and of the two awesome Paganini works, the 'God Save the King' Variations are very rarely heard. InchThe StradInch Gold Star Recommended CD.
