David Krakauer Plays Zorn October 2, 2011

David Krakauer will present Krakauer Plays Zorn, the first concert of DK55, in a series of concerts in New York celebrating Krakauer’s 55th birthday. Krakauer Plays Zorn consists of tunes selected especially for David Krakauer to play by John Zorn from his milestone work, The Book of Angels, interspersed with Krakauer’s own klezmer-inspired originals and mash-ups that comment on the Zorn material and relate to Krakauer’s long-standing relationship with Zorn’s Radical Jewish Culture scene (RJC). The Book of Angels is the second book of 300 songs for Zorn’s band, Masada, composed over a period of a few months in 2004.
