The Tzadik French Connection: Interviews with Seven Zorn-produced French Artists
How does an artist come to have music produced by John Zorn on the Tzadik label? How do the various stages of production and realization of these albums unfold? Through their own experience, how do these artists interpret the label’s slogan, “What you hear on Tzadik is the artist’s vision undiluted”? To answer these questions, we interviewed seven French musicians who have released albums on Tzadik: Jacques Coursil, Maxime Delporte (Stabat Akish), David Konopnicki (AutorYno), Pierre-Yves Macé, Guillaume Perret (Electric Epic), Frédéric Petitprez (Artichaut Orkestra), and Yves Weyh (Zakarya).
