Rabshakeh Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 John Zorn - Bar Kokhba I have never actually listened to this one until now, despite its status as a modern jazz classic in some circles. I generally like Masada more than most Zorn, particularly live Masada, but something about the wider Masada project rankled with me. I find the approach to naming the tracks with seemingly randomly chosen Hebrew and Aramaic technical terms or names quite irritating for some reason. Anyway, enjoying this one today, at least in bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the full run of the quartet discs, lost them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is long, but I've got The Gift in there too, which I'm told is similar. 4 minutes ago, mjazzg said: Saw that live, really good. One of my favourite Zorn's.

Maybe I'm feeling generous but it is fun to suddenly have all these records to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Marc Ribot – Yo! I Killed Your God Great title. I think it's probably a bit of a middling record. This one was previously streamable so it isn't new to me, but revisiting anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 I needed a nice jolt. This music is like what I imagine a stiff drink is to those who do stiff drinks. I just love every second of this music that I have been listening to for nearly fifty years.

Rabshakeh Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) John Zorn - Locus Solus I came to Zorn and his NY chums so many years before discovering other forms of improvisation from the 1980s that it hadn’t really occurred to me before that he chronologically came up as part of the second gen of free improvisers, like Beresford, Toop and Kondo. Anthony Braxton, Milford Graves, and William Parker - Beyond Quantum (Tzadik, 2008) I’m less impressed by this one than I had hoped it might be. I tread quite carefully with both Braxton and Parker, and here they do seem to be simply producing more of the same, at least to my ears. You can normally rely on Graves to shake that out of someone, but not always, I guess. Edited September 29, 2023 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
