John Zorn - News For Lullu

News for Lulu (album) John Zorn: alto saxophone George Lewis: trombone Bill Frisell: guitar News for Lulu is an album of hard bop compositions performed by John Zorn, George Lewis and Bill Frisell. The album features tunes by Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Freddie Redd and Sonny Clark recorded in the studio and live at the Willisau Jazz Festival. The original cover photograph features the actress Louise Brooks who played 'Lulu' in the silent film Pandora's Box (1929). It was released in 1988 on the Swiss HatHut Record label, and re-released in 1993 and again in 2008 with a new cover and additional take of "Melanie" recorded live at Jazzfestival Willisau on August 30, 1987. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "There are hints of the avant-garde here and there, but also plenty of swinging, bop-oriented solos and coherent ensembles. Very intriguing music that is highly recommended to a wide audience of jazz and general listeners".
