John Zorn rare interviews in his apartment

[@hyperboreanrites9577]

Possibly my favorite artist and composer!

[@rhp_6926]

Would love to see what's in this guy's bookcases and what's on his record shelves.

R.I.P. bohemian New York,was a special few decades of artistic life.What an amazing time period especially the lower East side and Brooklyn after that. Maybe it will happen again. At least people have it documented.

[@Gabe-qd4gz]

brooklyn was crooklyn and no one went there

[@triquepersonalwork6369]

NYC was always an expensive place to live after the 70's, which was the last inexpensive decade to live in that city. Every since then, it has never been a cheap place for artists to set up shop.

[@jnnx]

It will NEVER happen again. A brief moment in time. . .

[@matthews7805]

I just knew he slept with his records.

[@richardzachary6071]

Zorn talks about things he was working on "in 2004," with some sense of such things being already in the past.

[@MZRN1661]

if I'm correct, this is an excerpt of A Bookshelf on Top of the Sky: 12 Stories About John Zorn

[@MACWILLIAM]

Almost all clips are from the "Sabbath in Paradise" DVD outakes

Cream of the Best

[@vrod2144]

Anyone can recognize what little keyboard Zorn has? Might be Casio PT 30?

[@richardzachary6071]

This was recorded in 2005 or later

[@obdelwellxfrank9023]

C'est bien rangé, chez lui. 🙂

I like the chaos of the music but what is it about the music that makes it jewish? Is he taking old jewish rhythms or melodies? or is it just that he's jewish?

[@knightpolish3383]

Listen to his big fuckin ass body of work called masada, bar kokhba, electric masada etc first. It will help for sure

[@whatthecello42]

How did he pay his rent?

[@MrJadePinwheel]

With music

[@pippocalippo2447]

Cobra (Hat-Hut Recs)!

[@brianzayman2228]

IMHO Zorn is a musical phony. Structuring improv according to a game's rules does not make it sound better or more structured (check out Butch Morris's work for very musical improv direction). And having a group noodle around on a harmonic minor (Eastern-sounding) scale is not radical Jewish music. Sheesh!

[@matjazkarlovcec924]

How can one define "a more musical improvisation" ? I sense the essentialist logic behind this, which is, by the book, a dead end.
