John Zorn is a highly influential and innovative composer, saxophonist, and multi-instrumentalist. With a career spanning over four decades, he has explored various genres including jazz, rock, classical, and avant-garde. Known for his unique approach to music composition and improvisation, Zorn has released numerous albums as both a solo artist and with his bands such as Naked City and Masada. His eclectic style blends elements of free jazz, punk rock, noise music, and world music to create captivating and boundary-pushing soundscapes.

Zorn's work has garnered critical acclaim worldwide and he has been recognized with prestigious awards including the MacArthur Fellowship "Genius Grant" in 2006. He is also the founder of the independent record label Tzadik which focuses on releasing avant-garde music from various artists across different genres.

Whether performing live or composing for film soundtracks or theater productions, John Zorn continues to push the boundaries of musical expression. His fearless experimentation combined with his technical prowess makes him an enduring figure in contemporary music.

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.

Brian Marsella's dynamic trio steps out for another exciting outing performing a new collection of Zorn compositions inspired by the mysterious and occult cards of the Tarot. This beautiful and varied follow-up to the popular and critically acclaimed 2019 CD The Hierophant features the remaining thirteen Tarot cards in tight arrangements, highlighting the incredible versatility and virtuosity of this powerhouse all-star jazz trio. A classic reading of occult jazz from our favorite Downtown alchemist!
