The band operates less like a jazz ensemble and more like a living organism, each voice displacing the others in ways that feel inevitable only in retrospect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCut You Where You Was marks the return of saxophonist, flutist, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Henry Threadgill's flagship band Zooid. It's their first release since 2021's Poof, which Downbeat asserted \"visits strange territories, upsets our sense of scale and value but delivers whole new musical worlds.\" It also marks the 25th anniversary of their first album Up Popped the Two Lips, the inaugural release by Pi Recordings, which was first founded with the inspiration to document new releases from Threadgill. Their new album exhibits the continued growth of Zooid's unique sound. Featuring original members Liberty Ellman on guitar, Jose Davila on trombone and tuba, Elliot Humberto Kavee on drums, and cellist Christopher Hoffman, who has been a member for over a decade and a half, the band exhibits a sense of ease with Threadgill's knotty compositional sense, achieving their signature quality with less strict adherence to the distinctive interval-based compositional system that won Threadgill a Pulitzer Prize for his landmark work In for a Penny, In for a Pound. The album comprises a number of brief pieces that are inspired by Threadgill's fascination with early recording technologies: Their short recording durations force each musician to make their statements quickly rather than through protracted development. This limitation helps open new possibilities for musical expression, making Cut You Where You Was another tour-de-force from one of the most important artists of last half-century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluoroscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBingo Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBingo Part 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBingo Part 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Admiral Red Moon Rising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff and On What Happened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightnin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnow Bones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWind at My Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808713011418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pi Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.11.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pi Recordings (2) (PI114)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Fluoroscope – 6:12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Bingo Part 1 – 2:16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Bingo Part 2 – 2:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Bingo Part 3 – 3:42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Red Admiral Red Moon Rising – 12:21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Blur – 1:46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Off And On What Happened – 1:53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Lightnin' – 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Snow Bones – 1:56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Wind At My Back – 1:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiberty Ellman – Acoustic Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenry Threadgill – Alto Saxophone, Flute, Bass Flute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristopher Hoffman – Cello\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenry Threadgill – Composed By (All Compositions By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimon Grendene – Design (Package Design By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElliot Humberto Kavee – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeth Rosner – Executive-Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYulun Wang – Executive-Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiberty Ellman – Mixed By, Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenry Threadgill – Photography By (Photograph By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiberty Ellman – Producer (Produced By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndy Taub – Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRené Pierre Allain – Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJose Davila – Tuba, Trombone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54554793738558,"sku":"249235729","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12635186495806-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436247","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/henry-threadgill-zooid-cut-you-where-you-was-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
