| The Italian trio ZU plays extreme metal, but in a jazz ensemble: drums, bass, and baritone sax, with the occasional electronic gadget thrown in for good measure. Their unbelievably massive sound and the ease with which they combine these distant musical realms makes quite an impression live. Their greatest fan (and publisher) is Mike Patton. And John Zorn, who described ZU’s work as “a powerful and expressive music that totally blows away what most bands do these days.” |
