From Documentary (Part 3) : BBC Radio 3 : London, England
Sorry for the brief interruption, but the Irish side of me took over and I just had to post something in honor of St. Patrick. At any rate, here’s the section second of the third part of this radio documentary on the works of John Zorn. This one has a continuation of his hardcore-metal groups as well as the transition into his Jewish jazz groups. Wonderful stuff, really.

And as before, download this as a complete package (look here).

As always, not a problem at all. Glad you’re enjoying the documentary. I’d definitely say his Jewish jazz stuff is a must listen. In fact, that’s what got me into him in the first place.

hey, this has been great. definitely has made me add a few more titles to my list of things to buy (i had a bit of an idea but this docco has opened up whole new areas of his work).
thanks for putting these up - how many more are there to complete the series?
cheers
