He has written and performed string quartets, music more or less like jazz, music more or less like jazz combined with intrusive algorithms, musique concrète, acoustic guitar duets, solo organ recitals, soundtracks, thrash metal, spoken word, show tunes, and about forty-five records that defy succinct genre description. Whether or not this hybrid has ever arrived, Zorn has spent the past few decades releasing recordings that plausibly fall into each of those categories and many others. In Charles Atlas’s documentary Put Blood in the Music (1989), Zorn talks about creating a combination of “jazz, classical, and hardcore,” but says that he hasn’t yet made it happen. Zorn’s work ethic is appropriately legendary it is the force behind both his daily output as a composer and the community he’s built. Zorn’s work has helped sustain a cohort of artists and workers that has wound its way through the downtown experimental-theater circles of the 1960s, the loft jazz scene of the ’70s, and up and into a small but growing present-day circuit of alcohol-free venues that funnel 100 percent of the door to the musicians. That hallucinatory number represents the constant creation of music, sure, but it also indicates the borders of a psychic space radiating out of and above New York’s East Village. Zorn’s recorded appearances in the past forty-odd years-as improviser, composer, or both-number somewhere near seven hundred. WRITING ABOUT JOHN ZORN and his music feels like an act of cartography as much as an opportunity for critique.
This volume includes information on the next book in the series, which takes readers to Marie Antoinette’s France.John Zorn, age nine, playing in a surf band, Camp Killooleet, Hancock, Vermont, 1963. Even so, young readers ages 8 – 12 will enjoy this action-packed historical mystery. It’s not the time-travel element that seems off, but the 1940s characters’ handling of situations and circumstances that doesn’t quite flow. However, it is a fast-paced and history-laden read, if a bit sketchy regarding believability. There is enough info to get the gist of the storyline, but a reader would more comfortably enjoy it with prior knowledge of the first five novels. This is one of the tougher books to get into without having read the previous books in the series. It’s a race against time to tie up loose ends, and then onto further challenges coming in the next book. A time-traveling SQ villain, however, is hot on their trail and they soon find themselves running toward history’s enemies, the Nazis, in spite of the danger.

Dak, Sera, and Riq are kids on a very important mission: to save the future world from an evil organization by time traveling and putting history back on course.
