Quarant'anni di Cobra, e ancora voglia di giocarci: John Zorn con Brian Marsella, Sylvie Courvoisier, Ikue Mori, Wendy Eisenberg, Mary Halvorson, Taylor Levine, Simon Hanes, Jay Campbell, Henry Fraser, William Winant, Kenny Wollesen e Ches Smith, riuniti domani a New York a festeggiarne l'anniversario. Al Roulette, naturalmente, dove si disputò la prima partita.

The most renowned of John Zorn’s many game pieces, Cobra is one of his landmark works, and the most oft-performed compositions in new music. Completed in October 1984, it premiered to both acclaim and consternation at Roulette that same month. This October, Zorn returns with a spectacular lineup of a dozen of New York’s greatest improvisors to celebrate Cobra’s 40th Birthday. Featuring three generations of creative musicians with Zorn himself at the helm.
