‘He Made the World Bigger’: Inside John Zorn’s Jazz-Metal Multiverse

Just read that this morning scrolling through my phone this am for my morning news.

Great read!  The article just kept going and going.

I got exposed to John Zorn by way of Mike Patton.  

Got into Naked City several years ago and was floored.  There's just something about mashing up surf/grind/punk/jazz/whatever that grabbed me and threw me for a loop.

Electric Masada FTW!

I was wondering this morning, you think Zorn and Zappa were ever in touch/collaboration?  I'm sure a Google search would clarify but figure I'll encourage a... disccusion.

This not jazz, but it is metal, and titled the Multiverse. Voivod, Quebec's finest Metal band.

Zorns "The Gift" is a perennial go-to for me as well as "The Dreamers".

^ Nice- I'll check it out.

I know he gets down.

He made my blood pressure go up and my ears hurt. Sorry, hard pass

I'm old, my jazz metal madman is John McLaughlin
