Spectacular arrangements of Masada compositions by mad
alchemist Trey Spruance, mastermind of Secret Chiefs 3 and one
of the most brilliant musicians around. Drawing upon an
astonishing array of musical styles from Exotica and Surf to
Ethiopian Funk and Gypsy Swing, Trey Æs colorful orchestral
arrangements perfectly compliment the lyricism and dynamic
rhythmic complexity of Zorn Æs evocative Book of Angels.
Featuring some of the best musicians from the Bay Area, LA and
Seattle scenes, this is one of the most compelling
installments in the entire Masada series.
