 Record Label Review: Tzadik Records at Pause It Media
Tzadik is a Hebrew word meaning “righteous one.” Tzadik Records began about twelve years ago, created by John Zorn, and that alone will tell you that this label focuses on some of the most avant-garde and experimental music in the world.

In 1995, Zorn created the domestic imprint Tzadik, and it was with the birth of this label that the Composers Series was actually named, to set it apart from the other series presented by the label, which included Radical Jewish Culture and New Japan.
Both Avant and Tzadik are marked by the utmost care given to artistic presentation and packaging, wedded to a cavalier approach to promotion: artists are free to promote their own recordings, but the labels themselves do not stoop to servicing critics and begging for reviews.
As Zorn stated himself in the Tzadik label's mission statement, the labels are "dedicated to releasing the best in avant-garde and experimental music, presenting a worldwide community of contemporary musician-composers who find it difficult to release their music through more conventional channels.

 B'nai B'rith Magazine: John Zorn: Radicalizing Jewish Culture   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Though the work is a clear attempt to expand the vocabulary of Jewish music to include a broad set of influences and references, it is equally an attempt to expand the language of jazz to include Jewish music—a two-way exchange of ideas that enriches the boundaries of understanding and enjoyment among music fans.
In 1995, in order to distribute his work and that of like-minded artists on their own terms, Zorn started his own record label, Tzadik, which means righteous in Hebrew.
The label’s catalogue is a vibrant expression of Zorn’s own curatorial instincts and his love of music, and has been a successful way for the composer to undermine the dictates of the music industry, and keep important works of music available and in print.
