John Zorn - Teresa de Ávila (2021)

Our Zorn birthday celebration opens with music from the third and final installment of his Christian Mystics trilogy. The first two collections of music in this series took inspiration from Francis of Assisi and Julian of Norwich. Zorn wrote the entire project for this all-star acoustic guitar trio:

Bill Frisell, guitar
Gyan Riley, guitar
