Recorded live in the Community Synagogue in the heart of the Lower East Side, Invocations is a soulful collection of classic hazonos, scored for trumpet solo, harmoniums, glass harmonica and bass. A lush and beautiful contemporary reading of an ancient yet under-appreciated Jewish tradition. Featuring Anthony Coleman, Myra Melford, Ken Filiano, Gina Leishman, and of course the trumpet of the great Frank London."

"Originally released in 1999 in a privately pressed limited edition, this is much more than a re-release. Alchemically transformed by John Zorn through radical remixing, editing and overdubs by downtown superstars Mark Feldman, Erik Friedlander, Gyro Baptista, Jamie Saft (and Zorn himself on sax), Scientist at Work is a dynamic collaboration in the Miles Davis/Teo Macero tradition. Featuring stand-out work by the late Thomas Chapin on saxophones and bass flute, as well as the lyrical trumpet of bandleader/composer Frank London, this music touches on Jewish prayer, Afro-funk, Jazz fusion, Middle Eastern Taqsim and more."

"Frank London, a major voice in today's Jewish music renaissance, who has worked with the likes of LL Cool J, La Monte Young, Jane Siberry and Gal Costa, is a trumpetist, composer, arranger and musical scholar of startling range and creativity. The Debt, the first compilation of his work for film is the best place to jump into his musical universe containing as it does the widest variety of his musical obsessions. Latin grooves, burning jazz arrangements in the style of Charles Mingus, quirky experimental tracks, classical chamber compositions, moody sound pieces, funky bachelor pad music and a gorgeous suite scored for six female voices -- over forty of NY's greatest musicians are brought here in a variety of ensembles to make this one of the most exciting and eclectic releases, by one of the most active musicians in the downtown scene."

Catalog #:	TZ 8102

"More beautiful and evocative arrangements of Jewish liturgical music from the ever-creative and indefatigable mind of Frank London, one of the most important musicians out of the New Jewish Renaissance. Frank's distinctive trumpet has never sounded more lyrical, and is accompanied here by the sparkling rhythm section of Anthony Coleman, David Chevan and Gerald Cleaver. Joining Frank on several tracks is Chazzan Jacob Mendelson, whose soaring voice gives a unique spiritual quality to what is perhaps Frank's greatest and most passionate recording to date."
