John Zorn

He released 12 albums in 2010. 

Are there any other John Zorn fans here? How do you work out which are the real nuggets, the ones that are worth your money?

Never heard of him until just now.  Will investigate...

Yup. That was my first Zorn, bought back in the mid-80s. 

Although I had already seen him at Company Week, where he played an alto sax against his thigh and duck calls in a bucket of water. He has got a lot more interesting since then!
