Yoko Ono Collaborates With Antony and John Zorn on New Singles

In honor of Yoko Ono‘s 82nd birthday, the singer has collaborated with Antony and John Zorn on two new limited edition 10″ vinyl releases. The first is called Antony & Yoko and features a duet on Ono’s “I Love You Earth”, along with Antony’s solo rendition of Ono’s “I’m Going Away Smiling”. The second is called Yoko Ono & John Zorn, and features an improvisation between the two called “Blink” that was performed on WNYC back in 2012. They’ll be available on February 18 (Ono’s birthday) via Chimera. 

Proceeds from Antony & Yoko will benefit the Rain Forest Trust, while proceeds from Yoko Ono & John Zorn will benefit The Stone. Both 10″s are one-sided, with an etching by Ono on the other. Below, you can watch a video from 2009 of Ono and Antony singing “I’m Going Away Smiling”, along with a video of Ono and Zorn’s WNYC improvisation. 

Additionally, a new book by photographer Bob Gruen and Austin radio program director Jody Denberg titled See Hear Yoko will be released on February 17. It compiles hundreds of photos of Yoko, along with 25 years’ worth of interviews.
