John Zorn's Naked City is an explosive collision of genres, where avant-garde jazz, rock, and electronic elements meet in chaotic harmony. Lauded as one of the most important works of his storied career, this album features Zorn and an all-star cast from New York's downtown music scene reimagining movie themes and originals with fearless experimentation.
With breathless transitions from grooves to frenetic noise, Naked City showcases sharp reinterpretations of classics like "The James Bond Theme" alongside unpredictable originals such as "You Will Be Shot." The front cover features Weegee's striking "Corpse With Revolver," fittingly mirroring the album’s raw and disruptive spirit that continues to intrigue listeners decades after its original release.
