John Zorn is celebrating his 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.
Popular musician-composer John Zorn (Naked City, Cobra, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Zorn, a cultural icon
Born in New York on September 2, 1953, John Zorn's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Zorn's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little John hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for John Zorn as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 72.
Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
