A lifelong New Yorker,
composer and saxophonist John Zorn made his mark as a central
participant in the fertile "Downtown" experimental music scene
beginning in the mid-1970s. In the mid-1980s he signed to the
Elektra-Nonesuch label, releasing the critically-acclaimed breakthrough
The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone,
which was endorsed by Morricone, and incorporated elements
of
traditional Japanese music, soul jazz, and other diverse musical
genres. Since then, he has been exceptionally prolific, usually
putting out several new recordings each year. In 1993 Zorn began
composing and performing his 208 tunes that now comprise his
Masada songbook. Click
