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.

Incerto is the birth of an exciting new modern jazz ensemble featuring the remarkable trio from Suite for Piano (Brian Marsella, Jorge Roeder, Ches Smith) joined by the brilliant guitarist Julian Lage. A quartet capable of anything, this is the perfect group to realize Zorn’s quirky compositional twists and turns. The music is wildly varied—maddeningly complex, powerfully driving, heartbreakingly beautiful—and embraces complex meter changes, atonal melodies, unusual harmonies, and bizarre structural complexity. Inspired by Freud, Sartre, and the Uncertainty Principle, the music explores possibilities, probabilities, inevitabilities, and impossibilities.
