(John Zorn is an american
saxophonist and composer, born 2 September 1953 in New York City, USA.
He owns the Tzadik
record label and has worked with a large number of experimental
musicians, particularly in improvised music, modern classical music and
jazz, though he has produced music in most styles. Zorn's recorded
output includes
records by two bands of his own, Masada (a klezmer band playing music
that is often described as Jewish jazz) and Naked City (an often
aggressive mix of jazz, rock and grindcore). He has also worked with
musicians like Bill Frisell, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, Keiji Haino, and
Bill Laswell.
He has written music for television and film, which has
been collected in the ongoing Filmworks series of records on his Tzadik
label. Some of these are jazz-based, others are classical. He has also
written several "game pieces", in which performers are allowed to
improvise while following certain strucural rules. Bar Kokhba Sextet is a free/avant-garde/jazz ensemble, formed by Cyro Baptista,
Erik Friedlander,
Greg Cohen,
Joey Baron,
Marc Ribot,
Mark Feldman).
