It appears that 2009 is shaping up to be a relatively consonant year for John Zorn. Two of the composer and saxophonist’s Tzadik releases this year have both eschewed the hallmark dissonance that is so often present in much of his work. Along with O’o, Alhambra Love Songs shows off some of Zorn’s most tender and introspective work to date.

Hailed by his own label as being “perhaps the single most charming cd in Zorn’s entire catalog“, Alhambra certainly indeed stands out as a particularly moving record within Zorn’s incredibly vast body of work. Alhambra is infused with some familiar klezmer and middle-eastern elements that are omnipresent in his work. The eleven pieces are tributes to the city of San Francisco and some of the artists who have left an indelible mark upon Zorn, himself.
