There is so much to love about John Zorn, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Bun B. Hear has compared writing for John Zorn’s new album to that on ‘Filmworks 3: 1990-1995′ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since John Zorn last CD (Filmworks 3: 1990-1995) on Columbia Records back in 2001, I have felt a massive void in my life. Enjoy the show.
