John Zorn plays his favourite records

John Zorn plays his favourite records via dmtls

The thing I like to find out most about my favourite artists is who influenced them. Show me your bookcase/record case/video library and I’ll tell you who you are!

A bit about Zorn at Art and Popular Culture.

The originating broadcast is NYC FM, c. a. 1992.

The tracklisting is Mauricio Kagel, Napalm Death, James Blood Ulmer, Hasil Adkins, Juan Garcia Esquivel, Roland Kirk, Jazz Composer’s Orchestra, Husker Du, Die Kreuzen, Naked City, Indian Karnatic Jazz (directed by T.K. Ramamurthi), Funkadelic, Beach Boys, Ennio Morricone, John Zorn, Lenny Tristano, very similar to the one found here.

This is the hippest hour of music I’ve’ heard in a long time.

    Thank you for featuring my post.
    It is indeed very interesting to see and hear who influenced your favourite artists.

    As for the show itself, that seems pretty much to be the playlist. I am hearing it also now. Pharaoh Sanders is stated as an influence although the only track featuring him on the sax is the one by Jazz Composer’s Orchestra.

    There seems to be a problem with the link you have provided. It looks like it is broken.
