Tickets are $118, $75, $45, and $25. <br/> <br/>Website info at http://www.oyhoo.com/festival2006/zorn.html <br/> <br/> "This amazing concert celebrates the 13th anniversary of John <br/>Zorn's Book of Masada songs and the wonderful bands that perform them. Who <br/>knew that when John Zorn unveiled his band Masada, the acoustic quartet <br/>version, at the old Knitting Factory, during his 40th Birthday <br/>celebration in September of 1993, that they would go on to become one of the <br/>greatest, most popular, most loved and most enduring of all jazz/klez <br/>bands of all time?!? The original quartet continues to feature these four <br/>strong spirits: John Zorn (alto sax), Dave Douglas (trumpet), Greg <br/>Cohen (contrabass) and Joey Baron (drums). After releasing 10 studio CDs <br/>and 7 live CDs, they broke as far as being a recording band. They play in <br/>New York on rare occasion and when they do play it is mostly at big <br/>jazz festivals in Europe and Canada. Their recent performance at the <br/>Montreal Jazz Festival was considered astonishing by many and might just be <br/>released on CD. Zorn mentioned that he is planning to record their <br/>first new studio disc in more than a decade. <br/> <br/> The original Masada songbook included about 200 songs, only half <br/>of which have been recorded by the original quartet. A couple of years <br/>back, Mr. Zorn had an explosion of inspiration and composed another <br/>300+ Masada songs for his second big book, The Book of Angels. So far five <br/>volumes of Masada Book Two CDs have been released on Tzadik, with more <br/>to come. Each one features a different group playing these songs. There <br/>has been a number Masada cover compilations on Tzadik as well. <br/> <br/> Now existing parallel to the original quartet is Mr. Zorn's <br/>Electric Masada, which has always included his favorite guitar <br/>collaborator Marc Ribot with an evolving personnel of luminaries that now includes <br/>Ikue Mori, as well as two other longtime musical partners on drum kits, <br/>Kenny Wollesen AND Joey Baron. The current version of Electric Masada <br/>is sensational, certainly one of the greatest jazz/rock bands ever. Both <br/>of their Tzadik CDs are highly acclaimed and everyone who has seen them <br/>live knows how powerful can be! Electric Masada shows are also quite <br/>rare, just playing on New Years in NY and at a few festivals worldwide. <br/> <br/> The Masada String Trio feature Mark Feldman on violin, Erik <br/>Friedlander on cello and Greg Cohen on contrabass. They are also one of the <br/>beloved on Zorn's many bands and their performances are often stunning. <br/>Their versions of Masada songs are completely different that any other <br/>versions of the same songs. <br/> "Kol Nidre" is one of the heart-achingly beautiful songs that <br/>Zorn has written and folks have been known to weep when it is heard live. <br/>It was played in the background for the memorial of the victims of <br/>September 11th, during the radio broadcast when the names of fallen were <br/>read aloud. For this version of "Kol Nidre", Zorn has put together a <br/>special Masada String Orchestra to play this gem. <br/> This is a concert not to be missed, so plan your vacations <br/>accordingly." - BLG</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://zorn.tribe.net">The Torture Garden</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Here's a review I posted on another tribe; <br/> <br/>Just got this documentary spanning about 15 years of his career. It was filmed lovingly by Claudia Heuermann in a style closer to public access, then a professional documentary, which I think adds to it's charm. It is almost as much her story of how she was captured by Zorn's music as it is Zorn's documentary. <br/> <br/>The movie is divided into 12 sections, that zip around in time and space. She is given access to Zorn playing live and practicing with his many different incarnations. Zorn comes off as a witty, opinionated, and knowledgable interview subject. With his New York accent and quick mind, he ends up sounding like the Woody Allen of the avante garde jazz world. Some of the scenes of him describing what he wants of his musicians, end up looking Spinal Tap-ian. Even some of the muscians have a hard time keeping a straight face when he is describing what he wants them to do. <br/> <br/>Seeing how all of his "games" actually worked made the music seem much more interesting. Especially since it was only for about 30-40 seconds. As a matter of fact, a good portion of his music seems better when tasted on a sampler platter as opposed to a full meal. For me, a lot of his work is conceptually fascinating, but musically overbearing. I would have liked to see more footage of live Naked City and Masada, but no such luck. They would have made nice extras on the DVD. <br/> <br/>Overall, even if you are marginally curious about John Zorn, this movie serves as a good introduction. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://zorn.tribe.net">The Torture Garden</a> - 6 replies </div>
