Just beginning to explore his vast catalog of music. What do you think is essential?

Depends what you're into, jazz, noise, metal?

You might be interested in his more recent albums too, which are of a much more down-to-earth jazz fusion style than the stuff he became famous with, specifically:

* Incerto (2022)

* Multiplicities: A Repository Of Non-Existent Objects (2022)

* Multiplicities II: A Repository Of Non-Existent Objects (2023)

* Homenaje A Remedios Varo (2023)

* Parrhesiastes (2023)

Thanks for the suggestions. I have much to listen to. Don't know why I'm so late in my Zorn journey. And yes, I enjoy the fusion stuff more. The out-there stuff is good, but out of my comfort zone.
