Naked City

Naked Town was something of the avant-rock/free of charge jazz NY supergroup in the past due ’80s and early ’90s, offering an all-star cast of NY jazz experimentalists and led with the most-famous downtown musician of these all, John Zorn. Made up of Zorn on alto sax, Wayne Horvitz on keyboards, Costs Frisell on electric guitar, Fred Frith on bass, and Joey Baron on drums (and sometimes vocalist Yamatsuka Eyesight), Naked Town, more than every other Zorn-led group, set up him using a rock and roll audience. The music group had a massive repertoire and its own sets had been famously unstable. Zorn says that he conceived the music group being a compositional workshop; the task was to create whenever you can inside the limited format. Once he ended “hearing and composing for the music group,” it disbanded.
