The best part about this is that John Zorn can sit there and enjoy his own freaking amazing show

[@narkotikniklas6368]

For him it must be like a magic radio that let's you adjust the music the way that's the most ecstatic for you

Thanks for adding the titles and time stamps. I just spent a half-hour searching the internet trying to find the date of the show and possible setlist before it occurred to me to check the comments :)

[@xassbit]

@@dc_pratt Cheers! I use this concert when teaching improvisation, so the timestamps really help 😊

[@yaknjorgl]

im a snob, I own a million CDs and have thousands of hours of music downloaded but I can't get enough of Zorn - same league as Coltrane, Zappa, Shostakovich, Mingus - a giant of joy and beauty and it fukcing rocks

[@max.draw.box.]

hell yes.

[@riveravaldez]

Sorry, but Shostakovich was in another level. And I really love the works of Miles, Coltrane, Mingus, Zappa et al.

[@riveravaldez]

Yes, of course. And now, there's the pressure of market survival combined with political repression (no surprise you can't find serious political statements from most of the famous artists). The US is deeply militarized, and anyone can see the fear of the artists when they are in the position to denounce something, being viewed as "terrorists", etc. In a historical review this is coherent with Stalin's Thermidor and his collaboration politic with western imperialism.

[@MrOitsliver]

what are some good Shostakovich albums? @yaknjorgl@@riveravaldez

[@juniorgamba]

If this lasted 5 days straight, I think I would probably still listen to all of it.

[@NorbertHinterberger]

Excellent. Zorn isn't arrogant to raw blues and rock influences. That is the reason why he sounds so modern.

[@maryharry737]

Bass: sounds like someone walking through a swamp. Drummer: is painting an abstract picture. Keyboard/mallets: it's a horror movie. Guitarist: this is poetry. Percussions: this is how music sounds.

[@vjb3551]

Wow so right

[@user-xq1bc5qx2p]

Sax: eastern demon screeching.

[@christofferkiilerichjakobs8336]

I've kept coming back to this concert for years and years and years. It's one of my favourite performances in the world, and it never stops ceasing to be inspiring for me.

[@stainedsteel1]

Seriously! I heard this a few years ago, and since then have considered it one of the finest moments of jazz ever, coming back and playing/listening at least once every couple months!

[@thoughts_are_free]

here too... never get's boring... a masterpiece...

[@chrisko6439]

It never stops ceasing? ;)

[@ivanmilic1205]

I can't just listen to this, I also have to watch to see Zorn pointing at people.

[@beetvalley]

They are all trying to impress him when he do that

[@dougboblas]

I totally agree. It is an aesthetically pathological case of emperor's new clothes - haven't these people ever listened to Cream's "Wheels of Fire". Towards the end when Cream became over-bloated, they were savagely slammed (with some justification) for their uber-wankathons that bored everyone to death. But at least they had the bottle to accept that criticism at the time. At their peak they even had Leonard Bernstein raving about how good they were. However - they never sounded as bad as this! This stuff reminds me of Big Brother and the Holding Company! I love Marc Ribot's playing with Tom Waits - but Wha' da ... And someone here is talking about Zorn in the same galactic supercluster as Coltrane? but Wha' da ... Zappa?! Frank would eat this stuff on a cold hotdog while waiting in the snow for a cab, "colder than a flat frog on a Philadelphia freeway in February" (Waits) But seriously, the worst aspect of this stuff is its pretentious self-aggrandising aspirations to the Big Face Money! Aint got it. Emperor's New Clothes - call the tailor ...

[@ivanmilic1205]

I totally disagree. This music is fantastic. I just wanted to emphasize that I like Zorn's engagement.

[@dison77433]

Hooboy...what to say. When I lurch through the musical wonderland that overwhelms me in sheer volume, brilliance and trashiness, I find that the most rewarding of the lot is not immediately recognized on first listen. Or second. Or twentieth. Then a day comes along when despite your reticence, you put it on the table and 'click', the light comes on. Such is it with Zorn. The sheer power of this group reminds me of a stage coach which if not properly reined, will end in disaster. Zorn owns this team, completely. Everytime I listen to and watch this my hair stands on end. Pure joy in motion.

[@adrianasura6328]

Apparently, I've reached the intelligent end of KZbin.

[@HardcoreSexTexMex]

I love this. Ribot is a monster and Zorn is a madman.

[@kraftyhandz]

I drum everyday because I heard Joey Baron. My favorite drummer and all around inspiration.

[@joshuaschwartz7397]

Zorn's notation is amazingly complex. Not only that, but he's been using the hand signals since the 80s, when he composed "game pieces," which are structured improvisations built around certain set rules (Steven Soderbergh used to direct films the same way). But most strikingly, imo, is how his direction intersects with his interest in the esoteric and occult. It's like he's conjuring the music. If you have not seen it live, then you have not witnessed its crackling, immediate power.

[@krankytilldaell6639]

Now you know

[@neonmeate8180]

Witness deez nutz

[@soupkitchencelebrity]

THE POINTING AT PEOPLE IS CALLED ORCHESTRATING MUSICIANS THIS IS COMPOSED BY ZORN ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS GUITAR ORGAn xylophone BASS everything is composed by zorn so if he is orchestrating people it is because he wants his music played a certain way AS YOU CAN SEE EVERYONE HAS A PIECE OF SHEET MUSIC AND THEY ARE ALL SIGHTREADING

[@ArisFilosAdami]

Marc Ribot, one of the few focking real guitrist in our world!

[@TheHappyLeperBeaver]

tru rel guitrist yas

[@danboid]

John is a massively multitalented man but I think this video is all the proof you need to show he is in a league of his own as a conductor and band leader. Luckily he has a highly psychic and equally talented band to make wonders like this possible.

[@tjancijr]

Imagine working your whole life to master a single style of music; this band masters a dozen. Totally unreal.

[@dustypope3571]

Watching JZ conduct these special needs virtuosos is beyond inspirational.

[@wylieroth3145]

"...special needs virtuosos..." That made me laugh.

[@whyfor]

​@@wylieroth3145me too.... bloody tops!

[@berndzorn3829]

Also, das ist der Hammer! Habe heute das zum ersten Mal gesehen und gehört. Vielleicht ist er sogar ein Verwandter von mir. Gefühlt auf jedem. Bin begeistert. Zorni

[@dantramandr3962]

мискам ниарелуд да, слышим, и рибо просто потрясно играет

[@balloonsballoon]

I like the Marc/John dynamic. Like clearly John is a control freak and wants to tell everyone what to do, but Marc's attitude is like, "ok, I'll play your little game, but I'm gonna shred the guitar and completely steal the spotlight while doing it!"

[@DyingCr0w]

Every time, this is brilliant. May this not be forgotten in the dark depths of youtube.

[@ServeeSchellinx]

Super, never heard of john Zorn, IT SOUNDS great......just TWO chords and go.......and all goes..........just great....top musicians an a great good sound on youtube......

[@Clownsec]

3:30 - guitar riff shredding is so sweet John Zorn ate his lips

So, why would anyone give this thumbs down? This is a shred all the way...do I ever wish I had the opportunity to take this down front stage all the way!

[@riccardomusiu510]

I love this performance!! Amazing!!! John is a Genius!!! Great band!!!! 👊👊🎸🎹🔥

[@MaciejZacher]

One of my all time favourites! Marc Ribot at his best...one of THE BEST GUITAR of all time IMHO!

muhaha ... best comment...

[@frankschramm1007]

This is just too great. High level musicianship. I need to do this on mushrooms. It’s that good. I know johns brother. Which is another experience altogether.

[@metalmilitia137]

the drummer has a great feel to the music

[@PCShawUK]

Joey Baron is a legend!

[@stainedsteel1]

Ummm, he better...

[@johnakni]

I never thought Zorn would do retro-70's fusion. I am pleasantly surprised. The 80's are finally over.

[@pilevad]

This is soooo joyful I can't help smiling Damn they are great

[@hudlifuk]

i need this concert every week!

[@brainphreak]

@CBurton - Yeah I know exactly what you are saying. Zappa's band also had a lot of flexability and improvisation as well, it was just more well rehearsed if you know what I mean. They also improvised plenty live as things took odd twists and turns and they were forced to 'adapt'. I think zappa kept everyone on their toes, and they were strung along, he definitely had a TON of control over them leaving less room to write their own parts on the spot, but they still improvised in between songs etc.

[@haristark]

This shows musicians can fucking kick ass without doing narcissistic shit on stage

[@abregoja]

Best of the best... Never got tired listening this Live show... Wishing to watch it face to face in the future! cheers John!!!

[@psychobuzzard]

I don't know, man...I can't find the words....awesome is an understatement

[@mrgianfranco56]

I have listened to hour of his music, and it's just fantastic....him and his play mates...like FZ, all what they do is just exceptional- always

[@micheallee1695]

very very good music from John zorn and his group

[@hedonicmusic]

Zorn is insane, as a composer, saxophonist, Director. Amazingggggggg He's crazyyyy I love this

[@misumi75]

It's a punk!!

[@elmitodelacaverna2892]

what a show what a show what a show

Grande Jonh Zorn un polistrumentista geniale che ha influenzato molte generazioni di lui ho 131 cd...tutta la sua musica mi piace

[@MalaSestra]

What a bunch of ingenious people - Zorn, Ribot, Baron... cannot get better! I would not mind to die after such brilliant performance.

[@ZettaufrayMelanie-gx8bc]

Excellent. Du grand Jazz. Le guitariste est magnifique.

[@joostmaier9037]

Best is when Marc Ribot pulls his key chain out of his pocket to jam with

[@FrankEnanoza]

Can't get enough of John Zorn

[@jamespealing3518]

The guys played here in my home town, "Adelaide, South Australia" last week and I didn't go. I'm a jerk!

[@bluebear1654]

Thank you for posting this. Zorn is an amazing artist and musician. He’s collaborated with many other artists/musicians that go way back and also is so diverse as well. Thanks again, really appreciate it and glad to see stuff like this being put out there- where as in the past ya really had to hunt down and search it out. 😃😃😃

[@suricatafari]

a pleasure to hear see those guys playing ensemble

[@enfadototal8918]

Son todos unos excelentes músicos, rescato de sobremanera el aporte de Marc Ribot !

[@hardyplant29]

The best ever on you-tube I keep playing it every day!!

[@brainphreak]

what kind of music are you into? some fav bands? Like Secret Chiefs 3? Mr Bungle? Praxis? Jazz? Metal? Experimental? I highly recommend "at the mountains of madness" also "naked city" is one of his most popular projects that rules.. I really like his filmworks collection, my favorite being "invitation to a suicide", if you are into middle eastern sounding stuff check out his Masada project(s), and for pure insanity there is 'cobra' and his many volumes of 'game pieces' - too many too list

[@caelenselke-minogue]

Dude, you listen to Secret Chiefs 3? Awesome!! Live at the Marquee Club is great.

[@Jacksmusicshack]

He produced Mr.Bungle's first album.. I see why he loved them!

[@joefats1]

All of the John Zorn Mezzo/Jazz in Marciac footage is incredible !! Being able to see this stuff is an absolute pleasure !!! The Dreamers... For me it pretty much doesn't get any better

[@balluduku]

@bezinsky I was there and I got to say that one thing that was quite as amazing as the concert itself was seeing the amount of people that actually left during the show (I guess most of them had come for Avishai Cohen who was playing first; that was quite boring). Zorn or the others didn't seem to care for one second though. And the good thing is that in the end, you knew that the people that had stayed were there for a good reason! Awesome show...!

[@genemastrangeli1520]

Those are some magical pants J-Zoo

[@mikeit235]

Great performance! -this is what i call a band! playing all together with guts!!!!!

[@welldone2016]

Fantastic, mind blowing show.

[@Popexify]

Well im gonna quote a conversation between Wynton Marsalis and Zorn: “That’s not jazz.” And I’ll say, “You’re right! But this is the only gig I’ve got, man. Give me another festival and I’ll play there.”

[@stainedsteel1]

Fuck that! This is straight jazz to the core!!! Anyone dismissing Zorn can shut up and go back to pre-school! Even the accomplished and established, like Wynton!

[@jazzmanouchee4585]

thanks for this sound

[@nazardimitrov6724]

Love it! Fantastic gig!!!

[@cyganka242]

Im not music woman . This music is fantastic . Marc Ribot - genius . John Zorn number one !

[@AlmostEthical]

What a band. Exodus ... just fabulous.

[@anfer66]

Simplesmente genial é pena só os ter descoberto a pouco tempo.. simplesmente genial do melhor que já ouvi

[@thoughts_are_free]

Exodus is a musically orgasm... what a masterpiece... the complete concert is... when you see the joy in the faces... that's true love... and you feel it ... genius all...❤️

[@DarkeningSkies1]

I hope Geoff Nicholson sees this- as a big fan of both Zorn and Ribot, he will adore it. Love watching Zorn conduct- great energy!

[@jennyrap7421]

It still great at any hour

[@xenigron6237]

Make a dvd/bluray of this concert!!!!

[@upsidedaan]

Magnificent. Pure jazz of this era. A friend, who's a drummer, convinced me to visit John Zorn a couple of times around 2010. At the North Sea Jazz Festival. Joey Barron was there as well, maybe it was the same tour. Now can Pharrell join John Zorn please, so we can define the state of the art of music? Thanks!

[@petervanzetten1537]

53 minutes of magic.:-)!

[@SUPERTRAMP8323]

this is amazing...

[@FelipeEspinola1]

watching these happy guys playing makes me happy.

[@brainphreak]

@ALLCAPSARCHER09 - I dont delete comments, not sure what your talking about. Probably stupid youtube stuff, or user error :) As for your argument, both Cburton and you ALLCAPSSARCHER09 are correct IMO. Marc is not just randomly shredding when he wants, he is following Zorn's conduct. and they are clearly working a ton of improvisation inside those movements. This is how most jazz works. You may call out a 'key' or 'time signature' or even a 'feel' and improvisation takes over. Noisy Shred Jazz

[@DyingCr0w]

Fukin jam gold. Thank so much
