presented by Rory from tenpastseven

John Zornis an American avant-garde composer, arranger, record producer, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist.   

"I've got an incredibly short attention span. My music is jam-packed with information that is changing very fast... All the various styles are organically connected to one another. I'm an additive person -the entire storehouse of my knowledge informs everything I do. People are so obsessed with the surface that they can't see the connections, but they are there."

John Zorn
