Damn, yes. Zorn is the best example there is of a post-modern composer. Here he is demonstrating most of every genre of music of the last 40 years, from west coast jazz to hardcore to avant garde to funk and fusion, kicking it out wonderfully with the amazing Night Music Band. Absolutely smoking performance by all.
It’s too bad that SNL only has super boring musical guests anymore, I miss the days of Frank Zappa, and John Zorn! Thanks for posting this wonderful footage 😺
Brave, and Adventurous- LOVING THIS BIG TIME. I wish some NETWORK HONCHO would just wake up and say 'we need some shit like this on TV again" and have it not be about ratings count. I loved Late Nite when it was on the tube. Network seems to be about programming along with the money and what catches people's attention, via the overpopulation of reality TV shows. MTV is not what it was in the 80's and 90s' as with other music channels. They have all conformed to popularity.Just a damn shame.
huge!!!!!anyway...Omar Hakim on drums, Philippe Saisse on keys, Hiram Bullock on guitar...Marcus Miller on bass, David Sanborn on Alto sax(all in the house band of that time)John Zorn on tenor(the guest!)... got this video a while ago...cool to watch it on youtube. And...yes I guess Marcus never went back on such cross 'Ornette Coleman meets a more straightahead funk/jazz/rock style', or maybe nobody put on him such a task anymore. Musicians this talented can still play circles around musos
@DString20 , right on, but this to me is definitely spot on the subject '80's avantgarde'... Not forgettin' one of Coleman's compositions, Turnaround, It's a common ground for every modern straight improviser, despite the autor harmolodic fondness.
This almost sounds like excerpts from the Sony tapes - gotta check my timeline. Maybe Omar's presence shows the label connection… And I miss Night Music.
Hambone Jones Not re-written - the score for the Naked City original matches what they play here - just reinterpreted: some sections longer, overall tempo is slower.
@VLuchansky you're right on the saxes registers, they both play alto...on Philippe...I dare u say he's not him (he could get offended if he reads this) ;) I had the very same trivia question 6 years back...he does look like 'not himself', but there's no woman on keys in that segment for sure...go check some other vid arond youtube...he was the house keyboardist for 2 years at least, even when Marcus left the show in 1989. I spent quite a bit on this show...then I if u think I'm mistaken..;)
@Fozzacatania74 well, that's not Philippe Saisse definitely. He's a man at least while there's a woman playing keys on the video. :D I've read the wiki article and that's why I've asked this question - lineup is not very correct there. FYI, both Sanborn and Zorn playing alto saxophones.
This is what happens when a guy plays random shit on the sax in his basement, records it, then adds all the other instruments later around it. It's shit. It's trash. It's like a painter cumming on a canvass and calling it art.
This music, mostly messes with my brain. Not in a good way. If I listened to this too long, I’d have a nervous breakdown.🤮IMHO. With respect to people who actually like this. Go for it.
Sounds like what happens if you take 6th grade band musicians and threw them in with beginner guitarists some parts sound ok but like some parts I'm just like what the fuck is this shit
He's not a bad artist. However, some consider him the god of avant-garde and experimental music, which is absurd when you compare his work to the countless great experimental acts of today.
@@MrMonopod might be true but I’d rather rate him by his works of 70-80-90s when he was extremely prolific and influential in various genres and also built a label/platform dedicated strictly to experimental and underground music, did a lot for improv and experimental community And he sure has his own sound
@@VLuchansky He is a prolific artist, but on many of those CDs, Zorn does not perform as a musician at all. For instance, on my favourite "his" CD, Insurrection, he doesn't appear on it as a musician.
@@VLuchansky I don't deny that, however, there were many avant-garde and experimental acts in the 1980s and 1990s, and certainly some of them were even more interesting than a saxophonist named John Zorn, but they do not even remotely enjoy the fame surrounding the John Zorn brand among today's audience who declare themselves to be fans of experimental and avant-garde music. But okay, Mr. Zorn won that, and I have no problem with that; I'd like only to state that John Zorn is an extremely overrated brand.
True, because Zorn was heavily influenced by Carl Stalling, an American composer who did music for early Disney’s shorts and WB’s Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series, thus developing a classic cartoon style where styles are following on-screen action and changing each other really quickly
David Sanborn and Mr Bungle brought me here. RIP David.

Rest in Peace Mr. David Sanborn

RIP David Sanborn
Nailed it...
Oh boy I remember that clip. The look on Philippe Saise's face says it all.😳🎸
On F*&#$! Point! Everybody had short version charts written.
hope the sax was 18...
@Fozzacatania74 actually when marcus was live in japan in 1992 he did his rendition of Ornette Colemans "Ramblin"
1988.

And I miss Night Music.
Snagglepuss with an additional 2 minutes? I wonder if that was improvised or if Zorn re-wrote it.

What the hell did I just sit through...
@VLuchansky, it's just fine... surely a boredom if everybody could agree with each other...:)
@Fozzacatania74, yes, please, excuse me. I did not think about checking other video. Shame on me.
\m/!!!
Totally!

sadly, yes :(
this on TV?
Yes! Crazy, right?
スゲえwww サンボーンをはじめ全員がキッチリ弾きこなしてる。並のプレイヤーじゃまず曲構成すら覚えらんないよ。オマー・ハキムも文句の一つも言いたくなるよね。
Hey Samborn... JZ (haha) asked Omar Hakim, not you!
прикольно)
Sorry Omar (Hakim), you got left out, again.
....Kinda Zappa there....
what the f.........
Wait, what?
is that really MARCUS MILLER!??
It really is!
@@VLuchansky Nice find!!!!!
@@VLuchansky Still freaking out that Marcus Miller played ANYTHING with John Zorn!!!!! MAN!
@@NaneuxPeeBrane yes! David Sanborn, too! Mindblowing
The audio equivalent of modern art.
Cheap!
wait. WHAT?

John Zorn is an unbelievable overrated artist.
Why overrated?

Sounds like a soundtrack to a cartoon character getting sucked into a garbage disposal.
