As the stream of Masada albums continues to flow, Zorn's
writing skills haven't dwindled a bit. In fact, Masada's eighth album has
a few of my favorite Masada tracks on it. The drum feature "Amarin" has
a head which features some incredibly spiky rhythms, Abed-Nego slowly builds
from a forlorn opening by the horns to a great jazz groove, and the upbeat
klezmer tune "Tohorot" features some of the Masada's most intense playing.
Yet another excellent series of additions to the Masada repertoire. This
is one of my favorite Masada albums, right next to Tet.
John Zorn: alto sax
