Eyal Maoz: Edom
by Michael Feldman
Guitarist Eyal Maoz, known as a leader of Lemon Juice, is joined here by organist John Medeski, bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, and drummer Ben Perowsky. Edom, a new entry in the Radical Jewish Culture series on John Zorn's Tzadik Records, is influenced by both Mediterranean music and Jewish folklore, composed and played through the musical prism ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Kabell Years: 1971-1979
by Jeff Stockton
In 1971, four years after Coltrane's death, the hole that was left in jazz was intimidating. Ayler, Sanders, Taylor, et al. had pushed free music as loud and as far out as they could, and once dissonance and tumult had made themselves at home, the next generation responded not with more noise, but with silence. Trumpeter ...
John Zorn / Masada String Trio: Azazel, Book of Angels Volume 2: Masada String Trio Plays Masada Book Two
by John Kelman
When saxophonist/composer John Zorn first introduced Masada in 1994, it's unlikely that he could have anticipated it would become so successful. The first songbook was originally developed for his adventurous but clearly jazz-centric quartet featuring trumpeter Dave Douglas, bassist Greg Cohen, and drummer Joey Baron. Since then Zorn's compositions--brief sketches meant to encourage exploration and interplay--have ...
Davka: Davka Live
by Eyal Hareuveni
The quotes of Jewish wisdom (or mundane stupidity) that appear as part of the liner notes for Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series rarely have any connection to the fine music that Tzadik has to offer. However, the quote from writer and commentator Henry Louis Mencken, dated more than one hundred years ago, really gives an insight ...
Eyal Maoz: Edom
by Eyal Hareuveni
Israel-born, New York-based guitarist Eyal Maoz's debut release on Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series, Edom, is not officially part of the ever-multiplying series of tributes to the Masada songbook by Tzadik's founder and visionary, John Zorn. But in many ways, Maoz pays his respect here to the canonization of Zorn's new Jewish music, and even more ...
Okkyung Lee: Nihm
by Celeste Sunderland
Each of the ten tracks on Okkyung Lee's debut album sounds completely unique. Yet as Lee's cello and Doug Wieselman's clarinets fade away together--and Tim Barnes' and John Hollenbeck's percussion, mixed with Ikue Mori's electronics, rattle in an at times magical, at times frightening clamor--each track opens into the next with complete ease. Nihm undulates between ...
John Zorn/Jamie Saft Trio: Astaroth, Book of Angels Volume 1: Jamie Saft Trio Plays Masada Book Two
by Celeste Sunderland
Astaroth. The word itself can only be spoken with a gleam in the speaker's eye, a twitch of the eyebrow. It's as if within those eight letters, those three syllables, lies the power of enchantment. With Astaroth: Book of Angels Volume 1, the Jamie Saft Trio takes on ten compositions from John Zorn's Masada Book Two. ...
John Zorn/Jamie Saft Trio: Astaroth, Book of Angels Volume 1: Jamie Saft Trio plays Masada Book Two
by Michael McCaw
A couple of things become apparent when you listen to Jamie Saft's new trio album on Tzadik. On one hand you have the emergence of an artist in a spotlight that often reveals a lot about a musician's abilities, and on the other the continuation of a composer's work to meld traditional music with modern improvisation. ...
