Description
Spillane is an album by American composer and saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist John Zorn, composed of three file-card pieces, as well as a work for voice, string quartet and turntables.
It is named after mystery writer Mickey Spillane, whose novels featuring detective Mike Hammer provided the basis for the album's title track. Zorn wrote Spillane on a series of index cards, each containing an outline or instruction for the musicians that was intended to evoke scenes from one of Spillane's novels. One card states: "Scene of the crime #1 -- high harpharmonics, basses and trombone drone, guitar sonorities, sounds of water dripping and narration on top."[1] Thus, the musicians are not given traditional sheet music, but a series of cues or outlines that encourage improvisation. Guests include Albert Collins ans Robert Quine.
