More on Tzadik Records
Description from Wikipedia:
Tzadik Records is a record label based in New York City specialising in avant-garde and experimental music. The label was established by the eclectic composer and saxophonist John Zorn in 1995; Zorn is the executive producer of all Tzadik releases. Tzadik is a not-for-profit, cooperative record label.
Tzadik has released over 400 albums by a variety of artists with diverse musical backgrounds, including, but not limited to free improvisation, jazz, noise, klezmer, rock and experimental composition.
Notable in the label's catalogue are releases by Zorn himself and his multifaceted "songbook" group Masada; singer Mike Patton; guitarists Derek Bailey, Otomo Yoshihide, Tim Sparks, Buckethead and Keiji Haino; noise music icon Merzbow; composers Gordon Mumma, Frank Denyer and Teiji Ito; experimental groups Kayo Dot, Time of Orchids and Rashanim; drummer Yoshida Tatsuya and his band Ruins; trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith; and many others.
Particularly of note are two musicians. Guitarist Marc Ribot is essentially the "house guitarist" for Tzadik, recording five Tzadik solo albums as of late 2007, and playing as a guest on several dozen more. Percussionist Ikue Mori has recorded six albums for Tzadik as a composer, created the uniform gold-and-green design for Tzadik releases, and has created photography and artwork for many releases.
