John Zorn Reviews

Avg. Customer Rating:
5.0 (based on 9 reviews)

Darius Milhaud's polytonality and Shostakovich's cynicism seem to welcome the listener as they approach John Zorn's latest effort, while Jacques Ibert's perennial state of unrest and irony, quietly (albeit not silently) lurk in the background. As peculiar as the thought might sound, avant-garde can sometimes revel in vintage clothes, toy with retroactivity, instigate a certain eagerness for obsoleteness and still sound quintessentially fresh...

The idea of saxophonist/composer John Zorn writing music to accompany a production about vampires has exciting implications. After all, it would seem logical that a man who has, over the past 40 years, helped expand the scope of sounds that can be considered music should be able to craft something truly mind-bending when dealing with such a spooky subject...

Summary: John Zorn has made a career on being strange, and thankfully years into his legacy things don't look to be changing anytime soon. John Zorn has built a career on digging deep into the furthest reaches of musical expression, twisting genres with a convoluted mastery that cannot helped but be admired. His styles range from classical to jazz, from grind to avant-garde, and just about everything in between. Rarely, however, do we get the opportunity to see Zorn pinned down to Earth...

You wouldn't expect avant-garde composer John Zorn to make a Christmas album, and if he did, you figure it'd be some experimental, subversive affair, but no...

John Zorn In Search of the Miraculous Tzadik 2010 John Zorn's compositions revel in a rare blend of allusion and mystery. His albums often exist both on a self-contained level as individual works of art, yet are simultaneously layered with tokens and tributes to the many artists who have shaped his unusually eclectic aesthetic...

John Zorn Dictée / Liber Novus Tzadik 2010 If the ever-productive multi-instrumentalist John Zorn's compositional oeuvre yields one simple theme, it is the sheer variety of his interests and vision. Perhaps none of his personal oeuvres better encapsulate this than his file card compositions. These are usually extended pieces that consist of a vast number of diverse musical ideas, written down on file cards, which Zorn then cuts between in the studio, often at a rapid pace...

Reissue of the reissue. Previously an actual black box, with 2 cds, now everything fitted onto one disc. When these two Naked City records originally came out, it was before aQuarius had started doing our "list". But then Tzadik reissued 'em in The Black Box back in 1996, and we had a chance to review them... but all we said was: "Stars John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, Joey Baron & Yamantaka Eye...

Filmworks XV is Zorn's soundtrack for Marc Levin's film Protocols of Zion, his exploration of the history of the anti-Semitic book of the same name, undertaken in the aftermath of 9/11. The music, which according to Zorn was written in a flash of inspiration in about 20 minutes, is composed of a couple of main themes that the musicians rework in various ways...

For anyone who believes that Marc Ribot's guitar playing is the best thing about Zorn's Electric Masada project or Bar Kokhba, The Dreamers should be on the top of the must-buy list. Zorn has concocted 11 compositions that are crystal clear in conception, providing lush, shimmering, textured backdrops for astonishing work by Ribot, as well as keyboardist Jamie Saft...
