I think people like me, who came here several years ago looking for somebody to share their opinions about Zorn's music, simply went farther and now are interested in much wider things than just John Zorn. Many things were discussed so many times that mostly people don't want to talk about it again. And I also think that we are very lucky, that this list is not going into common popular discussion group problem, when new members are asking the same questions and old members are tired of answering them over and over again and simply refer people to FAQ or something.
NP: Yma Sumac "Fuego Del Ande" (CD)
I think it's interesting that Zorn's scope (which has gone past artist and into record label curator) encompasses more than just the music of Zorn and how other people's music becomes part of the Zorn canon. And the focus of this group has branched out right alongside him in that respect. BTW -- "Fuego Del Ande" is the Yma album that gets the least regard as an LP, but, live, the FDA tunes were the ones that got the biggest hand and the encore would always be "La Molina". skip h
