I just watched it for the first time and I'm curious about one section. There was a group that appeared to be recording in the studio. The only musician I recognized was Ribot. There were at least two percusionists. Ribot swung something on a rope above his head, for reference. I didn't recognize the music, but really liked what I heard. Has it been released? Additionally, there was another group with Ribot, Zorn, and Kenny Wollensen (?) with a keyboardist. Was this an early incarnation of Electric Masada or some other one off group. It didn't sound like Masada, but rather more straight ahead jazz. Zorn was definitely dusting off some of his bop licks. What are people's impressions of the documentary overall? Zach

From memory this is a more of a one-off thing (though repeated at various times with variations) - I guess it'd kind of stem from the Tony Williams 'Emergency' thing, but I don't think Ribot was originally involved in that (just Zorn, Medeski and Wollesen or maybe different drummers).

I found Heuermann's focus on her own thing pretty annoying, I think a few people have made the same comment here. But for all the Zorn footage it was definitely worth watching. Maybe someone will make a version with no Heuermann commentary... ; )

If i remember correctly, the idea of Emergency was to have only concerts with Zorn Medeski and Ribot as fixed members, and at each concert a different drummer. at least that's how it was performed the first couple of times at the knitting factory, oh boy, some years ago. Haven't seen them since, maybe now Wollesen is a permanent member also, and on each concert different underware... arthur

Hi, There's a lot of Emergency stuff on the net. As someone said, the basic idea was to maintain that core-trio of Medeski, Jorn and Ribot and just have rotating drummers. However, I just know of Wollesen, Perowsky and Rochester so far. It doesn't look like something Zorn's going to put out officially, imho. It seems more a "for the fun of it"-jam thing.

I haven't seen the documentary but what you are referring to is Emergency! with John Medeski on organ. I don't think they have officially recorded anything but there are plenty of unofficial recordings out there (probably because Medeski is in the band). Ken
