The latest recording by Zorn's newest ensemble Chaos Magick is a suite inspired by the ancient Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice - combining contemporary classical with jazz, funk, rock, blues, film soundtrack, noise improvisation and so much more this is a wild and evocative trip thru Hell and back.

Tight conductions, complex melodies, burning solos, telepathic group interaction and all the wit, humour, joy and mystery that one has come to expect from Zorn's dedicated and passionate crew of virtuosi are in abundant display in this beautiful and unique rendering of the classic Orpheus legend.
