John Hell's Live Bootleg Bonanza

Monday's 6-8PM Pacific

http://radiovalencia.fm

When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say live and let live. You know you did, you know, you did, you know you did. But in this ever changing world in which we're living makes you give in and cry...

Say listen to John Zorn!

Anyway, that came to mind. Yeah.

I have an inordinate amount of John Zorn-related shows from so many of his projects, that I could easily host a weekly special on him and not repeat a project for a few months. That's a lot. I got into Zorn during my days at KFJC. I think it was about 1993 when I first heard Masada, with Zorn, Dave Douglas, Greg Cohen and Joey Baron. 

It didn't take me long to gobble up all of the Zorn I could find. I think Naked City and Cobra were next. WOW, that's different. And then came the one-two punch of Electric Masada and Masada String Trio and I was hooked. I mean really hooked. 

Tonight on the show I'm excited feature to full sets from the Big Ears Fest in Knoxville, Tennessee, March 27, 2022.
