Zorn This Way - Part 1 [Mondo Jazz 300-2]

Everyone knows that describing John Zorn as a prolific composer is an understatement. Everyone also knows how inclusive he has been, sharing his compositions with the many musicians who are in his circle of trust. Countless renditions of his music have been recorded by these musicians for Zorn's label, Tzadik. To mark his birthday, on September 2nd, here we will focus on interpretations of the John Zorn songbook, mostly Masada Book One, which have been a bit more independent and have come out on albums not on Tzadik.

The playlist features Wayne Horvitz; Rope; Annette Maye; Admah Hotel; Gabriele Coen; Roberto Gatto; Xavier Dubois; Surnatural Orchestra; and the Silkroad Ensemble.

Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/19435945/Mondo-Jazz [from "Sex Fiend" to "Kochot"]

Happy listening!
