I got you into this mess so I'll give you a few suggestions . Spy Vs. Spy is my favourite Zorn album not counting Naked City's material. Also check out Book of Heads, The Big Gundown, Moonchild, and his group Masada's album Alef.

And by Naked City did you mean the album or the group? Because Zorn made a few other albums with the people on the Naked City, and they're all fantastic. Especially Torture Garden, which also happens to be one of my overall favourite albums.
