Джон Зорн
Джон Зорн () е американски композитор, саксофонист и музикален продуцент, емблематична фигура в авангардния джаз в края на 20 век.

Макар да е майстор на свободната импровизация, зад много от проектите на Джон Зорн стои стегната творческа концепция. Подобно на Бъч Морис, той измисля различни импровизаторски стратегии, като най-голяма популярност добива проектът му Cobra. Той е автор и на множество композиции за класически инструменти.

Първият албум, с който Джон Зорн става известен, е The Big Gundown през 1985 за Elektra Nonesuch – интерпретации на филмовата музика на Енио Мориконе, които успяват да подчертаят тяхната необичайност. Най-голяма популярност получава с проекта Масада, наречен от самия него „радикална еврейска музика“, в която се преплитат елементи на фрий джаз и традиционни еврейски ладове.

През 1995 г. Джон Зорн основава собствен лейбъл (Tzadik), който играе важна роля в популяризирането на модерната авангардна музика в нейните различни форми.

Дискография 
Джон Зорн участва като композитор или изпълнител в над 400 проекта. В настоящата селекция са представени само основните записи издадени с неговото име, като част от музикална група, като композитор или издадените съвместно с други музиканти. Посочените години показват годината на издаване на албума, а в случай че са две или повече, всяка следваща е годината на преиздаване, ако в него е включен допълнителен материал. По-пълна дискография може да се намери чрез следващата връзка.  .

Характерна особеност за изключително богатото и разнообразно творчество на Джон Зорн е групирането на албумите в различни „серии“. Направеното тук разграничение на „сериите“ е на различен принцип, например The Parachute Years е хронологична серия с ранно творчество, Филмова музика е поредица, разграничена жанрово, а Masada Book Two – The Book of Angels е концептуална серия от албуми с различни изпълнители. В първата поредица от албуми /Джон Зорн/ са посочени тези, които не спадат към останалите групи, макар че е възможно да се създадат още, например „Съвременна класическа музика“, която да съдържа албумите Elegy, Redbird, The Book Of Heads и др.
