Hi Richard and all,
Any other thoughts on Zorn influences? We all must have our ideas.
In terms of saxophone playing, besides the obvious Ornette connection, I'd urge you to listen to Anthony Braxton's "For Alto", which was reissued a while ago (can't remember exactly, could be on Delmark). Zorn admitted the album exerted a great influence on him in his early stages and there's no doubt about it. You'll probably guess where that insane squealing comes from. In that famous BBC radio program dedicated to Zorn, Evan Parker stated Zorn was the only true contemporary saxophone player, which is a lot coming from him I guess.
