John Zorn
Tzadik, 2002Dunn plays with Ribot and Xiao-Fen; tracks 7-23
A touch of minimalism laces the score to a film on the East Village dance scene. Haunting and childlike, the music for a documentary on outsider artist Morton Bartlett is tenderly scored for voice and cello. Finally , guitarist Marc Ribot goes head to head with Chinese pipa virtuoso Min Xiao-Fen for a film on the lives of Shaolin Monks now living and teaching in America.
