John Zorn and the Construction of Jewish Identity Through Music
HARVARD JUDAICA COLLECTION STUDENT RESEARCH PAPERS No.7 Studies in Jewish Musical Traditions Insights from the Harvard Collection of Judaica Sound Recordings Edited by Kay Kaufman Shelemay Professor of Music Harvard University '. HARVARD •COLLEGE LIBRARY Cambridge, Massachusetts 2001 Free Improvisation: John Zorn and the Construction of Jewish Identity through Music Michael Scott Cuthbert In early 1993, the Japanese record company Eva released a new disc of pieces by a composer best known for his work in free jazz, avant-garde "classical" music, and film scoring.! Taking its title from the night of violence against Jewish people, their businesses, and their property which occurred in Nazi Germany on November 9 and 10, 1938, Kristallnacht was John Zorn's first musical exploration of his Jewish heritage. After working with a group of musicians, most of whom he had little or no prior recorded collaboration with, Zorn built on the success of this project by turning in a new direction in his creative life. Quickly founding his own Hebrew-titled record company, encouraging other Jewish musicians to embrace their ethnic and religious heritage, and releasing in quick succession a CD series of Klezmer-flavored tunes, John Zorn's seemingly abrupt decision to visibly take up his cultural identity has gained him not only fans in the Jewish and free jazz worlds, but also critics and accusations of ethnic profiteering. This paper examines the underlying assumptions, aims, and methods for achieving these goals in Zorn's recent Jewish work through statements made by the composer, and reception by his fans and critics, but primarily through his recorded legacy.

An indispensable classic that defines the indefinable.” –John Zorn “Chusid takes us through the musical looking glass to the other side of the bizarro universe, where pop spelled back- wards is . pop? A fascinating collection of wilder cards and beyond-avant talents.” –Lenny Kaye Irwin Chusid “This book is filled with memorable characters and their preposterous-but-true stories. As a musicologist, essayist, and humorist, Irwin Chusid gives good value for your enter- tainment dollar.” –Marshall Crenshaw Outsider musicians can be the product of damaged DNA, alien abduction, drug fry, demonic possession, or simply sheer obliviousness. But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies. Irwin Chusid is a record producer, radio personality, journalist, and music historian. He hosts the Incorrect Music Hour on WFMU; he has produced dozens of records and concerts; and he has written for The New York Times, Pulse, New York Press, and many other publications. $18.95 (CAN $20.95) ISBN 978-1-55652-372-4 51895 9 781556 523724 SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z Songs in the Key of Z THE CURIOUS UNIVERSE OF O U T S I D E R MUSIC ¥ Irwin Chusid Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Chusid, Irwin.

Tzadik Records by Steven Sladkowski
Tzadik Records by Steven Sladkowski As trombonist-scholar George E. Lewis has suggested, the purely academic discussion of improvised music is necessarily incomplete without input from the musicians who craft it (Fischlin and Heble, 19). Practicing musicians must play an active role in the process of documenting and representing the musical and socio-cultural potentialities—and pitfalls—of improvised and experimental musics. While the means of documentation of improvised music are as diverse as its performers and the sounds they create, there is perhaps no better example of musician-led self-representation than the independent record label. Though artist-run performance spaces such as Somewhere There in Toronto and collective festivals such as the Vision Festival in New York City work in a similar fashion, they have a lesser rate of audience accessibility due to the fixed nature of their endeavours; festivals and performance spaces can only be experienced in one place (whether city or venue) at a given time. Unlike festivals and performance spaces, the main commercial output of independent record labels— sound recordings—is not limited to, or firmly situated in, any one experiential space or location per se. A CD, book, or DVD (to name only three of the most prominent examples) can be used in a number of different ways in a number of different locations. This gives the independent record label the ability— often enhanced by technological innovations such as the Internet—to reach a wider and more transcultural community. Tzadik Records is one of the best known but least documented such labels. An analysis of Tzadik can prove very informative to a broader discussion of the link between improvised music and the formation of alternative modes of social organization.
