John Zorn's history with film music has been a long and frequently difficult one. While the New York City-based avant-garde composer/saxophonist has created a number of cinematic scores, his artistic vision has often differed from that of the filmmakers, sometimes resulting in abandoned or rejected projects. Regardless of its actual use in finished movies, music that Zorn intended for the silver screen has reliably found its way onto his FILMWORKS series, and this excellent set cherry-picks from those collections. Although the compositions here lack the context of the full soundtracks, they are fascinating in their variety. Styles shift from Jewish klezmer tunes to percussion-based Latin pieces to delicate Eastern-inflected songs, with many of downtown NYC's finest musicians on hand, including guitarist Marc Ribot, drummer Joey Baron, and countless others. While this compilation serves as a best-of disc for Zorn's cinematic work, it also makes an excellent introduction to the renegade artist's own wildly diverse and inventive aesthetic.
