John Zorn's Naked City Black Box

20TH ANIVERSARY EDITION

Torture Garden /Leng Tch'e


The controversial and influential Naked City Black Box couples two of Zorn's most extreme and violent creations. Torture Garden (1991) presents Naked City's intense and groundbreaking music combining free jazz, bebop, r&b, country, funk, rockabilly, surf, metal and grindcore-usually in the same song! The rare, seldom heard Leng Tch'e (1992), released only in Japan and long out-of-print features Naked City in an agonizingly slow, brutal 32-minute assault. This special 20th anniversary edition brings all the music together on one CD, accompanied by a booklet complete with artwork, photos and essays old and new-Tzadik liner notes

Features the classic line up of Zorn (as, vocals), Fred Frith (b), Bill Frisell (g), Wayne Horvitz (keyboards), Joey Baron (d) & Yamantaka Eye (vocals).
