John Zorn, in 2023, is a tricky one to pin down. His catalogue is positively seam-splitting and well varied. While there's plenty of artists with similar-sized outputs, there's not many with as many genres, let alone as many genres done well. He's as capable of sombre renderings of traditional Jewish music in Masada as he is the American Football-by-composition of Cobra, the ruthlessly savage Painkiller or the who's who of experimental music collaborators.
