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.

'clearing customs' is based on an approximately 75 minute long, graphic structural model by which the most diverse types of musical events are linked together along a time line. a notated instrumental loop which can be heard in different versions in the course of the piece, serves as a thematic filler between these heterogeneous passages. fred frith's choice of instruments was in accordance with the classic jazz criteria: strings, skins, breath and, additionally, circuitry, meaning electronics. the line-up of the group, however, veered away from the conventional selection of jazz instruments - not least through the integration of asian instruments and electronics. fred frith follows the lead taken by the concept of the british theatre maker peter brook, who tries to integrate artists with completely different cultural experiences into an ensemble. also brook's vision of a 'poor theatre', which can do almost without stage design and only gains its intense theatricality by means of the interaction of its actors, has influenced this septet's way of playing. it is not the grand, flaunting gestures that define the quality of his music but the interaction, the listening to each other, the fine tuning of sounds.
