Go cold turkey with some very funky organ here in places from John Medeski on a sprawling, restless run-out of John Zorn compositions played by an often fiery and certainly lively line-up. Also with the Chaos Magick band's Brian Marsella on electric piano, Matt Hollenberg on guitar and Kenny Grohowski on drums, Parrhesiastes has just three tracks but these prove pretty long and engrossing ones at that. There's an open construction to the cosmic sounding pieces and a driving jazz-rock fusion complexion to the idiom. Best thing we have heard for a while.
