New Masada Quartet, Volume Three

Description

This long-awaited third volume featuring John Zorn’s newest and most exciting ensemble, New Masada Quartet was recorded live at Roulette, one of Zorn’s home bases in NYC. White hot and razor sharp, an intense electricity is in the air from the very first note. Resplendent with burning solos, telepathic group interaction, heartfelt lyricism, hypnotic grooves, and of course Zorn’s ever-surprising conducting techniques, this is truly one of the most transcendent sets they have yet performed. With an attentive and enthusiastic packed house cheering the musicians on to greater and greater heights, a crackling live energy brings the Masada music to life like never before. This is Masada at its passionate and virtuosic best! Essential. 1. Live at Roulette—Acharei Mot * Karaim * Rahtiel * Dalqiel * Mibi * Sansanah
