Gwynne, I would suggest contacting the fellows from Mr. Bungle.  Zorn 
produced their first CD, and they spent a considerable amount of time 
with him.  Trevor Dunn (who has his own website and shouldn't be hard to 
reach)  still performs with Zorn in his various incarnations, including 
a goodly many of the Jewish-tinged ones.   I was present at some of the 
Mr. Bungle/Zorn sessions, and interacted with Zorn socially.   Not only 
is he a huge talent, but he's a real mensch as well.
Best Of Luck,
Lederman
