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.

Filled with wild sounds, bizarre juxtapositions, soulful melodies, and pulsating drones, this outrageous recital is one of Zorn’s very best. Inspired by Aleister Crowley’s Liber Liberi vel Lapidis Lazuli, and performed in a kind of trance state, this is music beyond thought, beyond beauty, beyond rationality. Recorded at St. John’s Cathedral in Knoxville, Tennessee during the 2022 Big Ears Festival, this is Zorn at his metaphysical zenith. Organ improvisations with Mystery at its very heart—you have never heard such sounds!
