John Zorn (born September 2 1953 in Queens, New York) is an American
avant-garde composer, arranger, record producer, saxophonist and
multi-instrumentalist.
Though not well-known to the general public, Zorn's recorded output is

composer or producer. His work has touched on dozens of musical genres, but
he is best-known for his jazz and contemporary music; he also led the
notable experimental band Naked City and klezmer influenced quartet Masada.
After releasing albums on several independent US and European labels, Zorn
signed with the Elektra Nonesuch label and attracted wide acclaim in 1985
when he released The Big Gundown with his interpretations of music composed
by Ennio Morricone, followed by the album Spillane in 1987, and the first
album by Naked City in 1990Rockwell J,
