 $13.39 
Recorded during a string of concerts staged to commemorate John Zorn's 50th birthday, ELECTRIC MASADA captures the plugged-in variation of Zorn's acoustic, avant-Klezmer jazz quartet. Regular members Dave Douglas (trumpet) and Greg Cohen (bass) are absent here, with bassist Trevor Dunn admirably filling Cohen's position. Zorn's alternately lyrical and aggressive alto saxophone playing is still front and center, as are Joey Baron's dazzlingly polyrhythmic drum patterns. Rounding out the ensemble are guitarist Marc Ribot, keyboardist Jamie Saft, percussionists Kenny Wollesen and Cyro Baptista, and Ikue Mori on laptop electronics.
As one might guess from the personnel and instrumentation, the music here is dense, highly rhythmic, experimental, and often chaotic. The nearly 15-minute "Tekufah" is a cerebral, funky brew that recalls Miles Davis's early-1970s ...
| | Fred Frith 50th Birthday, Vol. 5 CD (2004)
Milford Graves/John Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 2 CD music
$13.09
Fred Frith and John Zorn had been making music together for 25 years when Zorn's 50th birthday rolled around, so how could that pairing NOT be one of the features of the monthlong celebration at Tonic in September of 2003? They got together for a series of improvised duets on September 15, and the results are stellar. Working together over such a long period of time and in various contexts, both players are intimately familiar with one another. The degree to which they listen to each other, react instantly, and match ...

Milford Graves/John Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 2 music CDs
$13.39 
With its patented blend of swirling Klezmer themes and frantic free-jazz improvising, one might think that Masada's music would grow predictable or tiresome over time. On the contrary, the burbling, always-busy rhythm section of bassist Greg Cohen and octopus-armed drummer Joey Baron expands the tunes anew with each performance, and the sinuous twin horn lines of trumpeter Dave Douglas and saxophonist John Zorn search and push in ever-changing directions. ...
| | John Zorn Masada - Live At Tonic 1999 DVD (2004)
Milford Graves/John Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 2 songs
 $24.25 
The world of modern jazz would be a very different beast if it weren't for the emergence of John Zorn in the 1970s. Unafraid to incorporate a diverse range of styles into his music, Zorn had drawn on heavy metal, punk, classical, and a number of other influences to help drag the genre away from its traditional leanings. Masada are one of his ...
| | Wadada Leo Smith Smith/Ibarra/Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 8 CD (2004)
Milford Graves/John Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 2 album
$13.99
This eighth volume in the John Zorn 50th Birthday Celebration series on Tzadik is most of all a blowing session with a ton of surprises. Recorded impeccably during the monthlong series at Tonic in New York, this bunch appears in both duo and trio configurations and the sparks fly throughout. There are two sets of music contained here. The first, a series of duets between Zorn and Susie Ibarra, runs the gamut improvisationally from the knotty skitter and skate of "Meridian" and the Eastern motif in "Rising Sun" to the spacious tonal inquiries of "Spirit Writing," where Ibarra's elongated brush work provides a stunning backdrop texture to Zorn's melodic modal inquiry. The second set, beginning with "Ipsissimi," is a trio session on three of four tunes. The interplay between Zorn and Wadada Leo Smith is ...
| | Dizzy Gillespie Montreux '77 CD (1977)
Milford Graves/John Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 2 CD music
$13.95
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
It took until the mid-'70s for a trumpeter to emerge who could not only emulate Dizzy Gillespie, but display a larger range: Jon Faddis. Unfortunately, Gillespie and his protégé barely recorded together, and this 1977 encounter at the Montreux Jazz Festival is quite disappointing. The trumpeters (plus vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist Monty Alexander, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jimmie Smith) play well enough on ...
| | Georgie Auld Jump, Georgie, Jump CD (1996) Import
Milford Graves/John Zorn: 50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 2 music CDs
$13.29
This CD features the talented but underrated saxophonist Georgie Auld (heard on tenor, alto and soprano) during three different periods. When Artie Shaw temporarily fled from success to Mexico in late 1939, Auld took over his big band and tried his best to keep it together. In Jan. and Feb. 1940, the remnants of the Shaw Orchestra recorded ten titles (formerly quite obscure), and eight of those decent but not overly memorable dance band performances are included on this reissue. In addition, Auld is heard in 1944 at an extensive radio transcription session with his new big band (which features some rare solos from the ill-fated trumpeter Sonny Berman) and at a live date with his orchestra ...
