The Song Project Live at Le Poisson Rouge

A live concert version of Zorn’s acclaimed song project! In celebration of his 60th birthday, Zorn asked his most acclaimed vocal collaborators to write lyrics to select compositions from his vast musical catalog. Including music originally written for Naked City, Masada, The Dreamers, a variety of film soundtracks and more, “The Song Project” is a retrospective of some of Zorn’s most lyrical compositions from the past 25 years.
