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

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.
