As to John Zorn being categorized as jazz: his roots are very deeply in jazz,
and Ornette is a notorious influence. Zorn's recent Masada albums (4 volumes)
feature a line-up very similar to the classic Ornette quartet, and his
sax-playing is, IMHO, better than ever.
By the way, check out Ornette and Prime Time's last album, Tone dialling.
Might have something to surprise everybody, not very far from acid-jazz...
