Aaah yes…Tanz was his other that I know is good.
And the label is indeed huge, not to mention some is not my style like much of the ‘extreme’ styles.

Filmworks XIV HIding and Seeking (2003)
Another gorgeous acoustic release!
This is an album one has to know absolutely nothing about to be intoxicated by. Its heady mix of silky nylon-string guitar work by Ribot, the sultry ethereal vocals by Ms. Suthivarakom that are strategically and soothingly placed throughout the work, and the completely seductive percussion engagement by Baptista make for a mix as heady as fine wine and as pleasantly overwhelming as fine perfume. This work is beyond folk forms, beyond jazz, and beyond the kitschy sense of humor Zorn often employs (even more so than The Gift, resulting in a work that is profound, moving, and full of sensual delight.

Hello Nostro.
Can I get this album somewhere as a hi-res download? I can’t find it on Tidal or Qobuz. And want it!
Outside of my usual “musical comfort zone” but something about the cover caught my eye. Am really enjoying a lot
Being new music Friday not done half as much work as I should.
