Paul Shapiro: It's in the Twilight
by Dan McClenaghan
Consider a single member of any ethnic group in America (so the joke goes), and that person has more fun at one wedding reception than a “regular Anglo-Saxon white dude" does in his whole life. It's an unfair and untrue observation, of course, but saxophonist Paul Shapiro's It's in the Twilight does make a case for ...
John Zorn / Mark Feldman / Sylvie Courvoisier: Malphas, Book of Angels Volume 3
by Kurt Gottschalk
The second book of Masada tunes--300 compositions John Zorn penned in 2004--is only revelatory for the most diehard of fans. What's more exciting over a decade into the Masada story is that new life has been breathed into the project.

Saxophonist/composer/entrepreneur John Zorn continues with his third in a series of releases dedicated to Masada Book Two--300 new compositions continuing the tradition established with his first Masada book, first introduced in 1994 with his flagship Masada quartet on Alef (DIW, 1994). Rather than using any single ensemble to interpret the new music, each album presents a ...
Electric Masada: At The Mountains of Madness
by Michael McCaw
You could come close to identifying the music on this incredibly lively and vibrant, yet draining release by imagining Buckethead's Monsters and Robots combined with John Zorn's Bar Kokhba Sextet. Identified by Zorn's Tzadik label as an amalgamation of the agitated pacing of Naked City, the immediacy and “improvisational edge of Cobra, and the lyrical qualities ...
