I'm feeling Zorny

[Wolter]

That sounds awesome. But not as awesome as when I saw him...

Which probably would in hindsight not be as awesome as when I finally see him.

Joey Baron is the drummer of Masada right? Because he is pretty much the best drummer I know, and when I saw Zorn, he was phenomenal. He did do loads of weird stuff, but it all sounded good.

Yes.

Matey, being a slavish follower of mainstream taste, doesn't understand the place of extended techniques in avant-garde music.

Live in Sevilla is a great album, and I like all Masada I've heard, but I like Naked City and Spillane better.

Sevilla's good but Tonic 2001 is better. I prefer Masada to NC and the file card compositions.

What in your prior posts provides evidence to warrant you rolling your eyes?

I could try to get into a serious discussion but I won't since you are basically right.

...Touche?

Hey Matey, sorry if I offended, I was just giving you the business. Actually, it means quite a lot to me that you were willing to gamble your money and go see a show based on my recommendation, and I really appreciate it as a friend.

OK, sorry for the softie stuff, guys.

Nah, I feel like I read it less facetiously than it was intended. I was already set on buying the record you recommended. I was just touchy because I do like some more non-traditional stuff (occasional fusion, post-rock, less standard forms of jazz) and also that I do come from the drumming background so feel I am knowledgeable on that particular instrument in most settings. I didn't criticize the content of the horn solos because I am way unfamiliar with free jazz (and related) improv and theory.

Alright that was more long winded than was necessary. Back to commenting on Cut the Crap.

Sure, and I get the critique. Actually, I prefer vanilla Masada to their more avant-garde ventures. I don't care for the cartoon pieces (what probably read as "free jazz" to you).

Nice and friendly video interview con nuestra maestro:

I haven't read it yet, but there's an article on Zorn in this month's Harper's.

You have a subscription maybe?

Your first Masada purchase should be Live at Tonic 2001, a release that burns like a son of a bitch**. I listened to it while Dr. Goldstein took out my four wisdom teeth.
"Masada," he said, "isn't that a place in Israel?"
"Unnhngh," I replied.


** Joey Baron is a DEMON on this record. Actually, a guy related to me once how his jazz drummer buddy decided to quit playing drums after seeing Masada play.

Alright, I gave you call this afternoon because I went record shopping with my birthday gift card. Supposedly they had Tonic 2001 in stock but I could not find it after ten-fifteen minutes of searching. Are there any other recs that are equitable?

I heard this in a Zoidberg voice.

I went record shopping today since I had a nice gift certificate. Supposedly they had Tonic 01 in stock but after ten minutes of searching in the Zorn section, I could not find it. Any other suggestions?

Hey bud, new phone cos I don't live in Virginia anymore. I'd need to know what was available, but Sevilla is a good consolation prize.

From my memory:
Taipai, Middleheim, Rock, String Trio, First Live 93, Electric, maybe Sevilla.

I'd go for Sevilla first, String Trio second.

Listening to "Acharei Mot", 7:24 through 9:26 is basically one long "holy shit" moment.

Something doesn't add up.
