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.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Painkiller! Get the one with Hamid Drake on drums.
Very much a fan. Faves are probably the 2cd Bar Kohkba/Masada sextet, The Big Gundown and Naked City's Radio. I don't think the other Naked City albums are out of print, most of it isn't on Tzadik though.
Masada Live in Seville is one of my favorite CDs. Zorn's technique of setting up a bleating drone with his mouthpiece and then overlaying it with key stops provides a great, percussive element to the quartet that is great counterpoint to Joey Baron's work on traps. Everybody else is great too, especially Baron, who may be my favorite drummer currently playing.
