John Zorn

John Zorn’s outsider days are well behind him: He’s now welcome at just about every cultural landmark in town, from the Met and the Guggenheim to Lincoln Center and NYC’s most hallowed jazz temple. Unlike his previous stays at the Vanguard—extensive residencies featuring a slew of pals—the hyperprolific saxist-composer returns to the New York jazz institution for a one-off matinee show with a four-piece combo: saxist Steve Coleman, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Tyshawn Sorey.
