ShredAstaire Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've recently gotten into his Book of Angels "series" of albums. As far as I know, all were composed by John Zorn but each album is played by different artists... My two favourite volumes are: Volume 9 - Xaphan by Secret Chiefs 3 Volume 10 - Lucifer by John Zorn (as credited on iTunes - I've seen it listed as Bar Kokhba Sextet as well) Mostly really weird complex tunes...this series is not for everyone though....if you are into Zorn or are interested in checking out something different, i highly recommend it! Some of it makes me imagine that I am in a turkish bazaar....yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This is not about the Washington Redskins! Not that Jim Zorn has any fans at all this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This is not about the Washington Redskins!Not that Jim Zorn has any fans at all this season. Yeah, when I first saw the title I thought maybe he'd gotten canned like Jauron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeVeeWee Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Me, a big John Zorn fan: Alef Beit Live in Middelheim Live in Jerusalem and MASADA GUITARS(with Bill Friseel, Marc Ribot, Tim Sparks) and everything of Dave Douglas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigh Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have a few John Zorn albums that I like but I can't remember the titles. I saw him once playing with Yoko Ono. He's great, she has no musical talent. Her noise fit in. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurray Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 What's a good album to start with for a Zorn noob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the one i mentioned above - Book of Angels Vol 10: Lucifer is an amazing album. Mostly straight guitar, bass and drums.....clean tones...interesting time signatures, tempo changes but not over the top. Highly recommend!

mcmurray Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Zorn plays guitar? I thought the saxophone was his instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timotheedle42 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 well, theoretically, he always played guitar and studied the saxophone in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Well...I guess I should be more clear... He composed that album and all the rest....his stuff on sax....well there isn't much that I have found that's "easy" to get into.... I haven't gotten into too much of Zorn's solo stuff but I did get the Naked City disc ...(Mike Patton does some vocals on there....sort of...) There are some big Zorn fans over at TK....you should put this out there. I'm probably not the best source as I am just getting into some of his stuff...
