John Zorn's Masada - 30th Anniversary Edition: The Complete Studio Master Takes
10-CD boxset!

The premier ensemble of Radical Jewish Culture, Masada is one of Zorn's most popular, personal, long-lasting, and powerful projects. Here you find the mother lode—the long-awaited Tzadik release of the original quartet's first studio recordings. Released in Japan by DIW from 1994–1997 and previously available only as hard-to-find Japanese imports, all ten CDs are presented here in their original configurations accompanied by an 84-page booklet filled with photos, scores, and over twenty essays of appreciation by a wide variety of musicians, poets, philosophers, and musical thinkers. Including an hour of rare alternate takes, rehearsals, and inserts, this is the ultimate Masada package. Made available to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary, Tzadik is proud to present this important historical document of one of the great acoustic jazz ensembles of all time-John Zorn's Masada. Essential!

This beautiful deluxe box set limited edition of 1,000 worldwide is now available online ONLY thru the Downtown Music Gallery.
