John Zorn at the Barbican Centre Reviewed

From The Upcoming:

Of all the modern American composers to emerge from the 20th century, John Zorn was the most post-modern, prolific and all-encompassing. The musical universe he has created is utterly distinct and unique, yet has always garnered power in reflecting music from around the world, suggesting a soundtrack to the new globalised culture. For the uninitiated, it’s probably aptest to describe him as both musical-lunatic and tourist, and indeed the experimental figurehead in downtown NYC.
