2014 collaboration between longstanding John Zorn bassist Cohen and Bill Frisell. "Inspired by the nature and landscapes of California, Golden State draws certain parallels to Frisell's Big Sur (Okeh, 2013), on an emotive level at least. However, where Frisell's tribute was built upon a contemporary chamber aesthetic, Cohen's stripped-down approach has a greater roots-based simplicity reflected in the no-rehearsal, one-take manner of this recording."

Playing surface of disc is perfect, but there are some marks on outer.
