Tzadik is a US record label based in New York City, specializing in avant-garde and experimental music. Established in 1995 by composer and saxophonist John Zorn, Tzadik has become a prominent name in the industry. With Zorn as the executive producer of all Tzadik releases, the label operates as a not-for-profit cooperative.

With an extensive catalog numbering scheme, Tzadik offers a diverse range of musical experiences. From special editions to limited edition vinyls, their releases cater to various preferences. They also have dedicated series such as John Zorn's 50th Birthday Celebration Series and Radical Jewish Culture Series.

While CDs were initially manufactured at a Nimbus facility until 2000, later releases from 2000 onwards were produced by Failsafe Media. It's important to note that if a title was originally issued before 1999 but features Mould SID Code 41xx, it should be considered as a repress from 2000 or later.

'the narrow garden' is the latest full length from composer eyvind kang which is released on ipecac. across his illustrious musical career in addition to arranging and performing with other musicians, he has released many recordings of original music notably the acclaimed choral piece 'athlantis' (ipecac) and 'the yelm sessions' (tzadik). 'the narrow garden' is no exception, offering one of his most original and perhaps one of his most playful recordings to date. the music on 'the narrow garden' sounds like it was composed for a film soundtrack in the way that eyvind kang creates evocative visual spaces with sound. true to form the album is composed of full-bodied pieces of music that evolve from minimal song structure to more grandiose musical statements throughout, 'forest saman'i' is a great example of this. 'pure nothing', 'mineralia' and 'nobis natalis' nod to the choral tones on athlantis and show definite eastern influences, whilst 'usnea' and 'the narrow garden' experiment with some truly eerie samples. overall this is one truly atmospheric album.
