This record collected the nine ‘hardcore miniatures’ from John Zorn’s initial wildly eclectic ‘Naked City’ album, and thirty-three that were later included on ‘Grand Guignol’.
The name comes from ‘Le jardin des supplices’, an 1899 decadent novel by Octave Mirbeau.
Personnel:
John Zorn: alto saxophone, vocals
Bill Frisell: guitar
Wayne Horvitz: keyboards
Fred Frith: bass
Joey Baron: drums
Yamatsuka Eye: vocals
I prefer Naked City (self-titled) and Radio but they’re not really metal (still a few “grind” tracks in it)
For anyone looking for some good intense jazz
Idk what’s with the downvotes, man, I appreciate the input.
Also, I’ve been posting some jazz-fusion in [email protected] and [email protected], not all of it is crossposted here — you might find some of the records interesting. People seem to have missed out on James ‘Blood’ Ulmer’s ‘Free Lancing’, which is pretty lively.
