john zorn
March 17 to 21, 1999, a music festival in Den Bosch, NL, had John Zorn as a
central guest.
Various John Zorn compositionas were performed / interpretated by Dutch jazz
musicians! (including Corrie van Binsbergen & Anton Goudsmid !!)
Other compositions were performed by the Mondriaan String Quartet.
A recording compiling various radio broadcasts was seeded on Dime:
2008, John Zorn's Tzadik label released "Xaphan, Book Of Angels, Volume 9": The Secret Chiefs 3 performing the music of John Zorn.

John Zorn
Muziekcentrum, Den Bosch (The Netherlands)
March 19-21, 1999
The initial broadcast started off with a 14 minute soundscape, containing various examples of John Zorn's music. Within this compilation, some interview excerpts (John Zorn was interviewed by Paul Harvey at the back of a car) were woven in. These bits are included in this post, as well as more excerpts of this interview which were presented during the evenings broadcast.
In this seed, I track-indexed the String Quartet piece "The Deadman", which has 13 small parts.
