Fellow music aficionados, While at Tonic last week for the Billy Martin solo & trio sets* I noticed the posting of: Electric Masada: August 3rd (Sat) 8pm & 10pm with Cyro Baptista (percussion), Trevor Dunn (bass), John Medeski (organ), Marc Ribot (guitar), Jamie Saft (keyboard / synthesizer / lap-steel guitar), Kenny Wollesen (drums) & John Zorn (alto sax) Of course, more info at the Tonic website: http://www.tonicnyc.com Although it would be ideal to hear the Masada Quartet (Baron, Cohen, Douglas & Zorn), who were amazing at Chicago's Symphony Center back in April, it would seem that those particular players are hard to get a hold of these days to rendezvous in NYC for such an occasion. And I'm not even selling any CDs; Pei-Yi * great music by Billy Martin, both solo and with Daniel Carter and Reuben Radding: the rhythm section would lay down some deep, soulful grooves while Daniel Carter slowly but solidly wails out bluesy, almost sad notes. Very intriguing juxtaposition of the upbeat energy along with (and also against) the focused soulful sounds of the reeds .... sometimes it felt that the communication between the two voices were lacking, but other times the irony of the two attitudes were coming together quite nicely. It was a pretty influential set for me as I thought about it all weekend, at random times. -----Original Message----- From: "William Crump" <crumpw@bellsouth.net> To: Zorn List <zorn-list@mailman.xmission.com> What the hey -- lately, if there weren't any "CDs for Sale" posts, there wouldn't much of a zornlist at all.
