Jazz File: Downtown Avant-Garde - the Music of John Zorn: 3: Torture Garden

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A series built on a rare in-depth interview with jazz saxophonist John Zorn.

Perceiving a spiritual link between free jazz and thrash metal, Zorn embraces the music of Napalm Death. Audiences love the resulting groups Naked City and Painkiller, but Zorn is dropped by Nonesuch Records.
