There are quite a few pro-shot Zorn concerts on BibiAudiofil's youtube channel.
This one's my favorite: Edited by Polo - 15 Jul 2011 at 6:02pm |

 That's Kenny G with Miles Davis on my avatar, by the way. |

It's impossible not to like Masada. Zorn's Naked City is hard to get into (music for the clinically insane, according to my mother) but they're my favorite Zorn project overall. If you want to listen to the Naked City debut, you can hear the entire thing for free on this page: http://grooveshark.com/#/album/Naked+City/358739. No registration required.

Matt, you must listen to Leng Tch'e ep of Naked city. This ep (and depressive black metal, doom metal (of course mostly extreme) and grindcore etc) describes my hate and my repulsion (also a grindcore band) for life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MUIqYHzgk4 Listen to the 3rd part! And to be more specific, Yamataka Eye's screaming (it's more than this) describes my disgust for life. |

Yes, but he must listen to how the darkness and misery of this world sound in music.

For those searching for most radical Zorn's experiments Hemophiliac project could be a target (with Yamataka Eye)

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

I like Bar Kokhba project also even if it is far not typical Zorn's music (if there exists "typical Zorn's music" at all ) - Bar Kokhba is Zorn's turn on world fusion with minimum free jazz flavor (if at all).

Been exploring his more recent stuff lately. Was really impressed with In Search Of The Miraculous. And Nova Express from last year was brilliant. I love the use of Vibraphone that he's brought into a lot of recent efforts. It works really well and not an instrument i've heard much in avant jazz.
Late, but see my sig for my response to this  |

I really like Bar Kokhba. I still need to hear all of the Masada songbooks. Electric Masada is definitely my favourite interpretation. 50th Anniversary Celebration and Mountains of Madness are amazing performances. |

Agree - Bar Kokhba and Masadas (especially Electric) are between Zorn's most accessible and attractive releases, only Dreamers series (even if quite different) can be compared . What doesn't mean his other works are not so good - just for other taste

Bumping this hibernating bear as well.
I apparently never posted here, but I'm a big JZ fan. I'm 95% sure the first Zorn I heard was Naked City's debut, which I found excellent. So many exciting music styles blended together into a viscous stew. I'll be honest, no idea where I went after that. But today my favorite projects of his are: Naked City Painkiller (who only get better with repeated listenings IMO) Moonchild Trio (who are rarely a trio anymore) Been salivating over Masada and The Dreamers as of late (two projects I found long ago but only started fully enjoying as of late). Electric Masada included in Masada. His Masada Book Two is a very interesting project/theory that has produced some gems (my favorites being Metheny's and Secret Chief 3's). And can't forget to mention his label Tzadik which is a blessed beacon to the world of experimental/forward looking/weird sh*t music. |
