The first release by John Zorn's newest and most exciting ensemble, New Masada Quartet, was one of Tzadik's best selling and most popular recent releases. Here the quartet returns to perform seven more classic compositions from the Masada songbooks. One of the best ensembles Zorn has ever had, they are tighter than ever, and the performances are filled with burning solos, telepathic group interaction, heartfelt lyricism, and hypnotic grooves. Spontaneously structured by Zorn’s ever-surprising conducting techniques, a crackling live energy brings the Masada music to life like never before. Masada at its passionate best.
