"Cleansing" is a collaborative album by two legendary figures in avant-garde and experimental music: John Zorn and Bill Laswell. Released on the Tzadik label, this CD showcases an intense musical dialogue between Zorn?s visionary saxophone work and Laswell?s innovative bass lines. The compositions traverse genres, blending elements of jazz, ambient soundscapes, world music influences, and improvisational mastery. This release stands as a testament to both artists? relentless creativity and their ability to push sonic boundaries. John Zorn is renowned for his prolific output across multiple genres?his Masada project revolutionized modern Jewish music while his Naked City band redefined genre fusion in the 1990s. Bill Laswell has been equally influential as a bassist and producer, collaborating with icons such as Herbie Hancock (notably on "Rockit") and producing countless groundbreaking albums across jazz, dub, rock, and world music scenes. Tzadik Records is celebrated for its commitment to adventurous sounds; founded by Zorn himself in 1995, it has become synonymous with cutting-edge contemporary composition.
