Biography
Tzadik (Hebrew for "Righteous One") is John Zorn's independent label devoted mostly to releasing Jazz and Avant-Garde records, though there are a few oddball things, like Rodd Keith's albums, as Rodd Keith is mostly known for his work in the Song-Poem industry than anything else. There are lots of Japanese Noise releases on the label, including some by some of the giants, Otomo Yoshihide and Merzbow.
