Any Zorn fans?


Curious how the great composer/improvisor John Zorn fares with audiogoners. My favorites of his are the avant/experimental pieces such as Duras, Elegy, IAO, Songs from the hermetic theatre, and Redbird.

I caught on to him with Naked City and Spillane, and over the years have stayed mostly with the more accessible Filmworks series and almost anything with Marc Ribot. Filmworks Anthology 1986-2005 is a good introduction to these sounds. My favorite Masada album is Sanhedrin-- some of the best experimental jazz of the '90s.

Zorn is so broad and some albums can feel like wandering into the wrong wedding party. I'm safer if I avoid anything with Mike Patton's voice.
