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

on BBC Radio 3

Steve Beresford presents a series built on a rare in-depth interview with virtuoso jazz saxophonist John Zorn.

Perceiving a spiritual link between free jazz and thrash metal, Zorn embraced the music of Napalm Death. The resulting groups - Naked City and Painkiller - provoked a level of critical disquiet unseen in the jazz world since the late Sixties.
