  • Footage of JZ talking about radical jewish music in his apartment in New York City during the late 90s or early 2000s.
    From 1:30 on are clips from the "Sabbath in Paradise" DVD bonus outakes. It features a couple musicians talking and playing music. I edited together just the John Zorn interview parts back to back
    i do not own this footage. For research and inspiration

    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.

      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.

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

      My guess is that it was very cheap for a good while, and then if that changed (maybe it didn't, or not much, NYC rent control), by that time he was doing a lot better financially. Big Gundown was 1986, that was a turning point in terms of wider recognition. Naked City wasn't long after that.

    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?

    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!

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