This is a first draft of the discography of John Zorn. Records
and tapes have been listed by chronological order for edition
(and not recording). The following records and tapes are listed:
* records and tapes by John Zorn and/or his bands,
* records and tapes featuring John Zorn,
* records containing composition(s) by John Zorn,
* records containing arrangment(s) by John Zorn;
the following ones are not listed (I think this would deserve a
special section):
* records produced by John Zorn (with the exception of Rodan
by Michihiro Sato),
* records which include samples of Zorn's music (except when
explicitely mentionned, like with Alfred Harth and Bob
Ostertag),
* records having Zorn as a technical or musical consultant
* records with liner notes by John Zorn;
though arguable, I omitted most of the time the name of the com-
positions (not a very DC (discographicaly correct) choice, I
agree);
also, you won't find anything on extra material like (maybe in a
near future ?):
* books,
* magazines,
* interviews,
* concerts,
* videos,
* tee-shirts (even if Shimmy has some very interesting ones !).
It goes without saying that I would really appreciate any com-
ments, corrections and extra informations which could improve the
quality of this discography. Specially, if people could send me:
* missing records and tapes,
* wrong references (on dates, musicians, etc),
* extra references (for vinyl, CD, or different pressings);
for example, I am looking for informations on the following
records:
* TRIO: Zorn, Bradfield, Chadbourne (Ictus, 1979)
* EXPERIMENTAL PERFORMANCE: John Zorn, Takayanagi (Japanese ?)
* CYNICAL HYSTERIE HOUR: ??? (Eva)
* THE ART OF BEAUTIFUL BUTLING: Frith, Zorn, Sovetskoe (1stRec)
* OCTOBER MEETING 87 VOL. 1 & 2: ??? (Bimhuis 1 & 2)
* UNDERTOW: ??? (Enemy 107)
* REPLICANT WALK: Friction (Enemy 109)
* RADIO, VOL. 1 & 2: Naked City (Avant 3 & 5)
* ABSINTHE: Naked City (Avant 4)
* LO FLUX TUBE: Old (Earache)
* POSSESSION: God (Virgin)
(many of these references are listed in Ed Price's John Zorn
discography).
