Gabriel Zucker
Weighting
Zucker's first ESP-Disk' album, Evergreen (Canceled World) (ESP5017), was made with his big band, The Delegation. His second is a quartet, with Delegation members Adam O'Farrill and Eric Trudel joined by acclaimed drummer Tyshawn Sorey. A suite inspired by Rachel Kushner's novel The Flamethrowers,Weighting is a spacious mix of composition and improvisation, frequently intimate — sometimes consisting of just intertwined sax and trumpet lines —but occasionally punctuated with rowdy outbursts or densely woven passages.
Track Listing:
1. Would It Come Back To You?
2. The Uselessness of Truth / Not To Be Anything More
3. The Stream of New York / and art, of course
4. Missing Our Appointments With Each Other
5. What's left (when we are always honest) / The Future Was A Place
6. a movie, a lover
7. Dissimulation / Not Knowing It At The Time
