La collaborazione tra Bill Frisell e John Zorn risale ormai a diversi anni fa. Dopo i vari album realizzati con i Naked City e la partecipazione ad alcuni progetti reciproci, dal finire degli anni '90 sembrava che i due avessero intrapreso cammini artistici completamente divergenti, con l'unica eccezione data dalla partecipazione di Frisell all'album Masada Guitars ...
