Jazz, classical, Klezmer and improvisational traditions blend and crash in Selfhaters, Anthony Coleman's most personal project. A disturbing and all-too-close peek into the very Jewish world of alienation and self-revulsion. Two long masterful compositions separated by a strange solo piece for voice and piano, The Abysmal Richness Of The Infinite Proximity Of The Same is one of Anthony's greatest creations. A CD that will vex you till the crack of doom.
