The Big Gundown is an album by American composer and saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist John Zorn. It comprises radically reworked covers of tracks by the Italian film composer Ennio Morricone. It was originally to be called "Once Upon a Time in the Lower East Side".The album is named after a 1966 very good spaghetti western (La Resa dei Conti), directed by Sergio Sollima, starring Lee Van Cleef, and scored by Morricone. It was first released in 1986 on the Nonesuch/Icon label. In 2000 a remastered 15th Anniversary Edition with additional tracks was released on CD on Zorn's Tzadik Records label.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this, as well as the self-titled Flying Lizards album. I owned the Flying Lizards album in the past, but it has been a while since I had a chance to listen to it. Thank you for providing me with that opportunity. I haven't had a chance to listen to the Zorn album, but it sounds great. Take care.
