I just bought it a few weeks ago but didn't get the chance to listen to it carefuly. Here are my first very short impressions: it's a rather quiet album with some nice parts (some tunes sound like Masada). But I don't think it's a must-have... There is something missing somewhere...maybe drums... Here is the information on Zorn's discography by Patrice Roussel: 200 - HARRAS: Derek Bailey, John Zorn, William Parker 1/ Morning Harras 10:19 2/ Noon Harras 8:59 3/ Evening Harras 36:01 Recorded by James McLean live at the Knitting Factory, New York City Produced by John Zorn and Derek Bailey Derek Bailey: guitar; John Zorn: alto; William Parker: bass. 1995 - Avant (Japan), Avan 056 (CD) Note: the silence on the track #3 has the following explanation: "According to Derek Bailey, the abrupt cutoff was planned. Derek wanted to end it "on a high". The Bailey solo material appended after the silence was apparently Zorn's idea." (thanks to Peter Stubley/Lynn Rardin) - TR Zachary Steiner wrote:

I was in a record store the other day and saw a Zorn album on Avant called "Harras" with Derek Bailey and William Parker. I had never heard of this album, what's its deal?
