 (1 Customer Review)
Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English 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 many groups, with a line up completed by Greg Cohen, Dave Douglas, and Joey Baron. This show features Zorn and Masada performing in their native New York City, at a regular haunt for the band, Tonic, on the Lower East Side. The concert was filmed in the summer of 1999, and sees the band performing with their usual enthusiasm, excitement, and ambition to push the boundaries of music back further than many of their contemporaries.

Unknown Contributor Role: Electric Masada.
At long last, John Zorn's Electric Masada project gets a release of its own. Recorded during his 50th birthday celebration in September of 2003, the set delivers everything you would expect from an Electric Masada show: great tunes, blistering solos from everyone concerned, and a slightly rocked-up atmosphere. The band does not disappoint; there seems to have been a real air of excitement surrounding the whole 50th birthday series, at least judging from the performances that had been released to this point. The bulk of the soloing belongs to Zorn on alto, Marc Ribot on guitar, and Jamie Saft on Rhodes, with Ikue Mori's laptop contributing interesting ...

Live Recording
Masada: Greg Cohen (bass instrument); John Zorn, Joey Baron, Dave Douglas .
Personnel: John Zorn (alto saxophone); Dave Douglas (trumpet); Joey Baron (drums).
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 ...

John Zorn Masada - Live At Tonic 1999 movie DVD
$13.39
Personnel: Wadada Leo Smith (trumpet); Wadada Leo Smith; John Zorn (alto saxophone); Susie Ibarra (drums).
Recording information: Tonic, New York, NY (09/22/2003).
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 ...

John Zorn Masada - Live At Tonic 1999 video
$12.89
Personnel: Thelonious Monk (piano); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Ahmed Abdul-Malik (bass instrument); Shadow Wilson (drums).
Liner Note Authors: Larry Appelbaum; Robin D.G. Kelley; Ira Gitler; Lewis Porter; Amiri Baraka; Stanley Crouch; Ashley Kahn.
Recording information: Carnegie Hall, New York, NY (11/29/1957).
Larry Appelbaum, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the Five Spot recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More importantly, this band -- which also included drummer Shadow Wilson and bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik -- had it right on November 29, 1957, at Carnegie Hall. The John Coltrane on this date is far more assured than he had been four months earlier on the Five Spot date and on the initial Prestige side Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane. He'd been with Monk for four months and had absorbed his complex, multivalent musical system completely. It's clear from the opening track, "Monk's Mood," where the pair play in duet, that Coltrane is confident and moving into his own. Monk feels that confidence with his nearly Baroque entrance on the tune. This is a hard-swinging band with ...
| | Ornette Coleman Sound Grammar CD (2006)
John Zorn Masada - Live At Tonic 1999 film
$13.19
Personnel: Ornette Coleman (violin, alto saxophone, trumpet); Greg Cohen, Tony Falanga (double bass); Denardo Coleman (drums).
Recorded in front of a live audience, 2006's SOUND GRAMMAR was the first release of all new material from free-jazz icon Ornette Coleman in nearly a decade. Packed with sonic thrills from back to front, this outing finds Coleman in a quartet that features two bassists. The rhythmic and harmonic interplay between the two basses (one is plucked and one is bowed) creates a rich, resonant field on which the drummer and Coleman (on violin, trumpet, and alto saxophone, alternately) improvise freely. The years haven't dimmed the artist's creativity an iota, and SOUND GRAMMAR proves Coleman's unique, original vision to be as vital as ever.
Sound Grammar was recorded in Germany in front of a live audience in October of 2005 with his new quartet ...
