Listening to Acoustic Ladyland reminded me of seeing John Zorn at the Crawley OutsideIn festival (run by Serious Productions) a few years ago. That really was thrash jazz. 30 seconds seem to be the average length of a tune, all at breakneck speed with lots of screaming from John's sax. Soooo I checked him out on YouTube last night. Naked City stuff pretty similar if slightly longer than what he was doing when I saw him. What I really liked though was his Mazada stuff. Mostly seemed to be impros on single jewish/gypsy scales with JZ arranging on the hoof. Would like to do some of this sort of stuff.
