John Zorn and Others at the Newport Jazz Festival Reviewed

From The Boston Globe:

“We have time for one more, but it’s a sick one.” With that, John Zorn introduced the final piece in a nearly two-and-half hour set of his music, performed by nine different ensembles Friday at the Newport Jazz Festival. Zorn — saxophonist, composer, MacArthur “genius” fellow, and longtime musical provocateur — is 60 now, and so is the Newport Jazz Festival. The festival celebrated its 60th by expanding from two days to three, with Friday devoted to “emerging artists.”
