Jazz File: Downtown Avant-Garde - the Music of John Zorn: 2: The Big Gundown

on BBC Radio 3

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

In the early 1980s Zorn paid tribute to some of his musical heroes, reinventing the work of Morricone, Sonny Clark and Ornette Coleman and developed his file-card technique of composition.
