http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4158&rws=%2Fjohn-zorn%2Ftop-tracks.rssJohn Zorn's sixty-plus (and counting) releases run the gamut from abstract improvisational game pieces (<I>Cobra</I>) and hyperactive, slice-and-dice Grindcore (<I>Torture Garden</I>) to near-minimalist Chamber Music (<I>Redbird</I>) and cinematic studio collages (<I>Spillane</I> and <I>The Big Gundown</I>). The New York City native's most identifiable trademarks are his bloodied, high pitch-dwelling alto saxophone playing and, as a composer, his use of rapid, jarring juxtapositions -- in mood, volume, genre, and/or instrumentation. Both qualities featured heavily in his late '80s/early '90s supergroup Naked City, a sort of rock band summation of his work since the late '70s and one of his two most popular projects. The other, his Jewish-jazz quartet Masada, is relatively traditional, featuring Klezmer and Middle Eastern-flavored melodies in an energetic, Post Bop-to-Free Jazz context. Marking a new phase of his career, Zorn has been devoting attention to his classical material, and in doing so ensuring that his listeners will consistently remain on their toes. - Will YorkAvant Garde Jazzen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:45:46 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4158&rws=%2Fjohn-zorn%2Ftop-tracks.rss John Zorn's sixty-plus (and counting) releases run the gamut from abstract improvisational game pieces (<I>Cobra</I>) and hyperactive, slice-and-dice Grindcore (<I>Torture Garden</I>) to near-minimalist Chamber Music (<I>Redbird</I>) and cinematic studio collages (<I>Spillane</I> and <I>The Big Gundown</I>).
