I'm checking out their myspace and it sounds fantastic. I already go in for a lot of Japanese experimental, and other J-stuff from like Puffy and other pop stuff, old punk stuff (the vinyl comp
my meat is your poison impressed me a lot when it came out) and naturally I like the black metal band Sigh.
Are you familiar with Miya Masaoka?

And Coltrane never ever worked with Miles Davis or Thelonious Monk or any other of the right people? Zorn's ability to assemble amazing musicians together is part of his contributions.

Coltrane jammed with anybody and everybody and took ideas off many as well. It was amazing for me to learn that not only did Ayler borrow from Coltrane but that Coltrane took a lot from Ayler. Modesty and humility add even more to Coltrane's legacy. It's like for him climbing Everest wasn't enough. When he got there he built a tower to take him even higher. I'm not trying to hate on Zorn but when people are TOO enthisiastic about him I suspect they've found a little fool's gold.
