I checked PA and if no mistake, I didn't find even offer to include great klezmer avant-jazz trumpeter Frank London. He played with John Zorn on some albums (for example on Kristallnacht, 1993), and recorded 3 solo albums and two callaboration albums on Tzadik records. I've seen him for a first time this summer in Vilnius Klezmer Fest, and he was really great playing kind of kletzmer based free jazz with domestic free jazz musicians.
He is better known by his musicianship with The Klezmatics and many collaborations with different world fusion artists , as Boban Markovic (great Serbian Balkan/Gypsy folk musician),or Andralamoussia. But he plays not only kletzmer world fusion, but plenty of avant-jazz, free-jazz and experimetal kletzmer music.
As session musician, he played with some wellknown bands as well. Even if sometime sounding as jazz fusion or even jazz-rock musician, in total he is figure in musical field near to John Zorn (especially Masada). I believe he should be placed in PA, I think under RIO/avant label.
Some Frank London music examples:
