I'd be >grateful for the rest of my life! Somebody please please please help me! I made my own. Got a green silk shirt too small for me at a yard sale for 2 bucks - painted the letters John Zorn on the back real sloppily with black ink and cut off the sleves. In one corner of an "O" with a white paint pen I wrote a block of text that looks like this: PAINK ILLER NAKED CITYM ASADA Voila. Instant Zorn shirt. I can't wear it to work or anything, but it's a great shirt all the same. And silk even!

The line up consisted of Patton (organ), Zorn (alto sax), Pete Chavez (tenor sax), Bill Saxton (tenor and soprano sax), Ed Cherry (guitar), Eddie Gladden (drums), Lawrence Killian (congas), and Rorie Nichols (vocals). The recording is really top notch, and some older Patton tunes ("Congo Chant," for instance) are given a well deserved and well executed dusting off. As good as that disc is, though, I am eager to hear Zorn and Patton work in the stripped down quartet setting, as sometimes the octet on "Blue Planet Man" can lose its direction a bit.

Does anyone know if there is more different between the two releases than just the cover art? Also at Tower (where the guy on the jazz floor was a real dick - made himself look really stupid thinking he knew more about Zorn's music than I did and told me to look in the Israel section for Tzadik releases, remarking that "Zorn has done a whole lot of work with Isreali music") I found _Improvised Music, New York 1981_ in the misc. guitar section, and _Utopia americana_ over in the classical section. This one is a really cool CD, if anyone hasn't heard it. Some Cage, Riech and Ginsberg, as well as the Zorn and a few others. The really funny thing about this CD, produced in 1992, is that the liner notes say that "John Zorn's music is a snapshot in sound of the 90s." and they pick a piece that was first recorded in 1978, which is ALSO mentioned on the CD sleeve! I find that funny.
