DIGEST #4, 12/12/94
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello once again. Just a couple of things this time around...
First of all, if anyone ever wants any back issues of
Zorn digests, I keep 'em all, so just mail me (mpj1@kepler.unh.edu)
-- NOT the list (zorn@unh.edu) and let me know which ones you
would like, and I'll send em right out to you.
Second of all, I, for one, like John Zorn, but there is so
much stuff of his out there in numerous different projects,
that I sometimes (a lot of the time) don't know what to buy.
So, what I wanted to suggest is this: How about if people
posted reviews of CDs that you may have? Not necessarily all
of them, but perhaps your favorite/least favorite. I would like
to hear different people's opinions of different albums...Well,
tell me what you think. Thanks. -Matt, zorn-mgr

When I saw Masada here in D.C. (at the Black Cat) a couple of months ago,
Zorn told me there were going to be 3 Masada records coming out soon on
DIW. I haven't seen them anywhere yet, though. I'll find out what's up
over the holidays while I'm in Seattle (where there is a truly definitive
little record store for such things) or else when I go up to NYC in
mid-January.
If you haven't seen Masada yet, they're worth traveling through blizzards
across several states, skipping meals to pay for the ticket, etc. I've
seen them twice. Lineup was Zorn, Dave Douglas (trumpet), Greg Cohen
(bass), Joey Baron (drums). Very much a bop band. Lots of very hot
tempos, intense improvisation, balanced with some truly haunting, very
open, slow compositions. Both shows were among the best performances
I've ever seen by anyone.
I've never seen any of the other incarnacations of Masada, which have
included Marc Ribot and a variety of other NYC players. They're doing a
week of shows soon in the small room at the new Knitting Factory, if
anyone's going to the city....(KF's # is 212/219-3055).

Subject: re: masada
as far as i know, the only masada song currently available on any
format is included on the "klezmer '93" compilation, which also
includes performances by the hassidic new wave, the klezmatics, and
many others. the masada song is really well done, 'tho i can't
remember the name of it offhand. most (and possibly all) of the
tunes on the album - inclusing the masada song - were recorded live
at the knitting factory, nyc. i wholeheartedly recommend picking up
this cd. it is superb.
i heard a rumor that zorn was starting up an american label. further,
the rumor was that one or two masada releases would be in the first
wave of albums put out by this label. i can't confirm this, but i'd
be really excited if it were true.
i saw masada live at the black cat in washington, d.c. a month ago.
without hesitation, it was the best show i've ever been to. really
mesmerizing. what's more, a guy was recording the show. he seemed
to have the cooperation of the band, but i don't know if he was doing
it for personal use or for commercial release.
hope this helps,
eric
