5 out of 5 stars Yet another "Book of Angels" gem..........2007-07-07

I've collected volumes 1 through 6 with great enthusiasm and all have brought equal reward. John Zorn continues to amaze me with his prolific output, and overabundant talent and love for all things audible. With Book 7, Marc Ribot shines on all tracks, showing why he is the guitarist of choice for Mr. Zorn. Trevor Dunn also provides very solid basswork, and his interaction with Ribot is very tight, most likely coming from their past work in Electric Masada together. I am new to G. Calvin Weston's work, but from this effort alone, I will definitely be looking out for more. Tracks #2 and 4 are instant favorites, but none of the tracks are any less than stellar. Anyone obsessed with the involved parties probably have already picked this up, but anyone looking for a solid guitar/bass/drum trio effort, here it is.

      Complete recordings of Mikrokosmos are relatively common these days, but aside from guiding students I wonder what purpose they serve. This is a series of piano study pieces starting at the most basic level, and the music with genuine listening interest really begins only with Book 3 (of 6). Similarly the duets are mostly teaching pieces, and though they make for good listening in small groups, the entire series becomes tiresome. Bartók wrote magnificent music, and the later books of Mikrokosmos are filled with superb little pieces. But though the performances in this set are all excellent, not much of the music is basic Bartók. --Leslie Gerber

        4 out of 5 stars Masada meets Stalling and more........2005-06-24

        "Zayin" is an odd entry into the Masada catalog-- John Zorn's Jewish-tinged jazz quartet (Zorn on alto, Dave Douglas on trumpet, Greg Cohen- bass, Joey Baron- drums) seems this time to be tackling not only their usual styles, but also drifting closer to Zorn's love of Carl Stalling and cartoon music. Such things had been hinted at on earlier albums, but here the influence is overt.

        Nowhere is this clearer than "Hath-Arob", with its propulsive theme and goofy improvisation. The band sounds to be having a blast and the piece is superb. Ditto for the nursery-rhyme-ish theme "Bacharach" (wisely kept short as its sing-song nature could get rather annoying) and the skipping melody and seemingly randomness of "Nevuah".

        Beyond the cartoon influenced stuff, there's quite a bit of great playing on this one-- bass feature "Otiot" is a three and a half minute workout for Cohen, everyone else lays out and he shows his mastery, "Kedem" features Douglas blowing in a trio setting, a dark muted melody with rolling percussion below it, before after several minutes he and Zorn play a haunted, quiet melody in unison. But for all this, "Mahshav" is probably the gem here-- a nice melody/countermelody statement from Zorn and Douglas eventually bleeds into a superb drum solo by Baron where he's outshined by Cohen's accompaniment, then a return of favor with Cohen soloing and Baron sparkling below him. And closer "Tekufah" is a great example of the sort of work Masada excels at-- dueling horns, great grooves, fantastic work from four musicians.

        In the end, "Zayin" is one of the better entries into the Masada catalog, its varied, unique, and quite different from the earlier material. Recommended.

        5 out of 5 stars My favorite Masada CD.......2000-10-21

        Of the five or so I've heard, this is my favorite Masada CD, particularly the very strong first cut. For some reason, this CD just seems to evoke the musical traditions, landscapes, and rhythms of the Middle East MORE than any of their other releases. It would make a great first Masada CD if you don't already own one.

                4 out of 5 stars Masada meeting stalling and more........2005-06-24

                "Zayin" is an odd entry into the Masada catalog-- John Zorn's Jewish-tinged jazz quartet (Zorn on alto, Dave Douglas on trumpet, Greg Cohen- bass, Joey Baron- drums) seems this time to be tackling not only their usual styles, but also drifting closer to Zorn's love of Carl Stalling and cartoon music. Such things had been hinted at on earlier albums, but here the influence is overt.

                Nowhere is this clearer than "Hath-Arob", with its propulsive theme and goofy improvisation. The band sounds to be having a blast and the piece is superb. Ditto for the nursery-rhyme-ish theme "Bacharach" (wisely kept short as its sing-song nature could get rather annoying) and the skipping melody and seemingly randomness of "Nevuah".

                Beyond the cartoon influenced stuff, there's quite a bit of great playing on this one-- bass feature "Otiot" is a three and a half minute workout for Cohen, everyone else lays out and he shows his mastery, "Kedem" features Douglas blowing in a trio setting, a dark muted melody with rolling percussion below it, before after several minutes he and Zorn play a haunted, quiet melody in unison. But for all this, "Mahshav" is probably the gem here-- a nice melody/countermelody statement from Zorn and Douglas eventually bleeds into a superb drum solo by Baron where he's outshined by Cohen's accompaniment, then a return of favor with Cohen soloing and Baron sparkling below him. And closer "Tekufah" is a great example of the sort of work Masada excels at-- dueling horns, great grooves, fantastic work from four musicians.

                In the end, "Zayin" is one of the better entries into the Masada catalog, its varied, unique, and quite different from the earlier material. Recommended.
