The Bribe: variations and extensions on Spillane is the ninth studio album by American composer and saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist John Zorn, consisting of music created for three half-hour radio plays produced by Mabou Mines theater company in 1986.[1] It utilizes compositional techniques, source material, and personnel that are similar to Zorn's Spillane.
The album shares its title with The Bribe, a 1949 American film noir directed by Robert Z. Leonard.

The Allmusic review by Joslyn Layne awarded the album 4 stars stating "A nicer mood pervades this release, yet given its kaleidoscopic and slightly demented tone, it certainly can't be described as relaxed. Then again, maybe "relaxed" isn't too far off, after all—perhaps by playing a supporting role to the production's cast instead of driving the concept, the musicians were able to enjoy themselves a little more.".[2]
