On the occasion of John Zorn's 70th birthday, a critic from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) titled his article as follows: **The master of beguiling and stunning!
He probably hit the nail on the head with that. Zorn invites you to take a seat on his melodies, to be enticed into dreaming and then, from one second to the next, to be drawn into such a whirlpool of sound that you're not sure whether you'll get out of it in one piece.
According to the motto: dream yes — but don't fall asleep! 😮😉

Well said. I find it very difficult to fall asleep with some of Zorn's songs...especially those named after angels :)
