On this intriguing concept album, altoist John Zorn (who also "sings" and plays harpsichord, game calls, piano, and musical saw) utilizes an odd assortment of open-minded avant-garde players (with a couple of ringers) on nine themes originally written for Italian films by Ennio Morricone, plus his own "Tre Nel 5000." These often-radical interpretations (which... More Morricone endorsed) keep th...

"The infamous Moonchild/AstronomeTrio of Patton, Dunn and Baron returns to the studio this time aided by the searing organ of Jamie Saft, the complex electronics of Ikue Mori and a small female chorus to realize Zorn’s latest project Six Litanies for Heliogabalus. Inspired by the decadent excesses of the Roman emperor/child-god who made Caligula and Nero look like reasonable human beings - smot.

John Zorn is kind of like Frank Zappa to me. Sometimes I think he would record his grocery list if he needed to release something. He has worked with some of the best names in music, and is no doubt extremely talented, but he releases so much stuff, and the quality is varies so much, and is all over the place. But sometimes when he is working for a specific theme, artist, or genre, the resul...

Where is the new music? The state of "classical" music seems to be very boring? To me it is because there is desire to attract people back to the genre, but doing it by writing boring, one-dimensional music because they think it has gotten too weird and that is why people "switched over" to other musics (i.e. jazz, rock and/or roll, etc.). I think these people are poisoning music with their lac...

So caught the The Steven Colbert Show Tonight, funny as alway's, but at the beginning just a little slam on avant garde jazz musician John Zorn, where he made a comparison of himself playing some random upper register tone's on sax in front of bastketball player Kareem, making it seem like it was no big deal. If you are not familiar with Zorn he produced the first Mr. Bungle Album, and was an i...

Zorn seemed a logical course following from the last selection ... especially this little macabre masterpiece.I.A.O .... numerologically 666 ... is apparently based upon the occult personality Aleister Crowley and the films of Kenneth Anger.I found it to be quite an experiential task to listen to the whole album ... try it ... at the very least get immersed in each song long enough to test you...
