Denying that Masada has been overexploited at this point seems pretty absurd. And with regards to those theoretical financing purposes, I don't see why a MST album should sell more than another Naked City live volume or something in the style of "The Gift". Of course nobody's forced to listen to all of his output, that's obvious, but I think that most of us were used to a more steady production rythm from the guy. Zorn even admitted in that Bomb Mag interview that he had slowed down too much and that he felt he had done nothing in 2002. 2003 has been even worse in that sense. Tzadik is still my favorite label and I get every single new release with only a few exceptions. But even so I find one single reason to complain, just one, if I may. --- Robert Pleshar <rpleshar@midway.uchicago.edu> escribió: > Well, you mustn't HAVE it. Cripes, theres a lot of
bellyaching about what Zorn is releasing lately. If you don't need another MST disc, don't buy it. The guy is a mensch and puts out more discs by more deserving and off-the-wall artists than anyone around and people still have t ofind something to complain about.
Sorry, that's just been bugging me for a while. It's not like anyone is forced to listen to these discs and if they sell well and subsidize discs by other people and other Zorn projects, all the better.
So, if anyone looked at the Koch web page, they'd see that the next release in Zorn's 50th birthday series is
John Zorn & Milford Graves duet
also coming in the spring - Irving Stone Memorial Concert, Susie Ibarra trio, Alvin Curran.
All in all, not really much to complain about if you ask me...

It's nice to see some activity in the Lunatic Fringe, Key Series, and Oracle Series. Yes, why must we have another Masada String Trio set? Is Zorn afraid nothing else will sell?

www.tzadik.com has been updated with the Jan/Feb 2004 releases. There are a few ones which look great, but I keep wondering why another Masada ST with so much happening last September at Tonic!
Best,
Efrén del Valle n.p: Marc Ribot "Scelsi Morning" (Tzadik)
