Zorn This Way, Part 1

Click the play button to listen

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 focus on interpretations of the John Zorn songbook, mostly from Masada Book One, independently released.

Happy listening!
