not your average genius.......2007-06-15
Any old genius can write music that startles, challenges the mind or moves the heart. Perhaps only a genius like John Zorn can write something that sounds like middle eastern restaurant muzak and still have his fans barking like trained seals at his cleverness. This is unremarkable world music hash warmed over.
Simply put- superb........2005-12-19
"Azazel" is the second in the series of releases for John Zorn's Masada Book Two. In the early '90s, Zorn wrote about two hundred pieces for his Masada project-- a songbook of melodies that could serve as springboards for improvisation all written using the "Jewish scales"-- this lent a slight klezmer bent to the music. In the second half of 2004, Zorn took it upon himself to compose a new book of Masada pieces-- all told he composed some three hundred melodies, naming each after an angel and titling the songbook "The Book of Angels". "Azazel" is performed by the Masada String Trio-- violinist Mark Feldman, cellist Eric Friedlander and bassist Greg Cohen.
One thing immediately notable about the pieces is the diversity of moods on them-- it seems as a composer Zorn seemed to also challenge himself to repeat little ground and avoid sounding, for lack of better term, Jewish. The pieces cover such diverse styles as frantic cartoon music ("Mibi", "Gurid"), lush and romantic ("Mastema", "Garzanal"), patient yet foreceful ("Tabaet"), moody ("Symnay"), dramatic ("Bethor") and just plain exciting and fantastic ("Uriel", "Aheil"). Of course, this is all helped by having just purely virtuoso performances-- these guys have been playing together (and playing Zorn's compositions) for nearly a decade and it shows-- they approach the material with an unusual sensitivity and vigor-- really digging deep inside the pieces. At times, each receives a spotlight and performs admirably, but its really the collective play that pans out, whether it be cartoon explosions and frantic improvs ("Mibi") or one outdoing the other as they trade solos ("Symnay", "Azazel", "Garzanal"), it seems that every time you think they've reached a peak, someone brings it just a bit higher.
When I first listened to this, I thought to myself that it really isn't quite as good as the live performances,b ut as I listen to this more critically for this review, truthfully I can't find anything bad to say about it-- this album is just utterly fantastic-- its not so simple as to say it's "chamber music" or "jazz on strings" or any other label, its just fantastic music performed admirably. Highly recommended.
Book Two : Book of Angels keeps amazing us..........2005-12-04
You hear people sometimes say that JZ has stopped to surprise us with his various Masada recordings and that there are "too many" Masada records ...
I could'n disagree more. JZ wrote a new batch of around 300 Masada tunes in a few months time : "The Book of Angels". These tunes will not be played by the acoustic Jazz Quartet "Masada", but by various groups. This CD, the second volume, has the Masada String Trio playing 13 new Masada tunes. They do not cease to amaze me in their quality of composition, arrangements, playing, improvising...
The character of the Masada tunes of Book II is a bit different from the first book : they are as versatile and brilliant as those of book one, but also very refined and sometimes a bit less agressive. (more mature ?)
Some pieces have the theme in pizzicato, like "Uriel" and "Tabaet", which reminds us a bit of the famous "Abidan"-theme, but very pleasing indeed. And then there are the lyrical ones, like "Mastema" and "Garzanal", which has some Klezmer violin-playing influence.
On the CD are some jump/cut cartoon-like pieces that are played brillantly. The improvisation is brilliant and very convincing. You feel and hear that these guys have worked a lot together and are at the top of their playing.
If you have not yet tasted the Masada String Trio, this is a must-have. If you know the MST, buy it and you'll be fascinated by the new roads they take with the Book of Angels.
The future looks bright ..........2005-11-28
Now in a holding pattern, John Zorn has long since left behind the post-modern jump cutting aesthetics of his initial game pieces and Naked City hard cross-over band to focus solely on his two greatest loves, composing and his Masada project. What once started out as an acoustic jazz quartet modeled on Ornette Coleman's infamous piano-less quartet, albeit fuelled by Yiddish scales and melodies, has now grown into Zorn's primary passion. With over three thousand individual compositions to his credit, Zorn has debuted his second book of compositions, "The Book Of Angels: Masada, Volume Two." This string trio recording is the studio debut of a number of new, never before recorded Masada compositions.
Fitting in seamlessly with the rest of Zorn's discography, these tunes conjure the same sort of timeless magic that the Masada songbook has always enjoyed. Modal in nature, with a primal and naturalistic drive, Masada tunes have proven to be Zorn's most popular project, even despite their sometimes intense and discordant delivery. Veering from haunting balladry to frenzied interplay, the trio accepts all of the composer's compositional challenges with glee. Featuring Mark Feldman on violin, Erik Friedlander on cello and Greg Cohen from the original Masada quartet on bass, the trio is never at a loss for virtuosic creativity. Strings are bowed, plucked and scraped in a passionate commingling of ancient Yiddish harmonics and post-modern compositional aesthetics.
"Azazel" is a stunningly beautiful example of the power and persistence of Zorn's vision and a welcome reminder of the composers abilities. "Azazel" is the first of many potential recordings featuring the second book of Masada tunes, as such it is a wonderful introduction to this familiar old world.

Alkaline Trio... Live.......2002-10-13
This c.d. is in my opinion okay. This is the answer to the private eye single with two live songs matt sings, but now the live songs are dan's. The quality is still great, but the vocals are not great (dan seems to have trouble singing into the mic) the 1st installment of this c.d. contains the "the metro" and the "private eye" video. if you can find the 1st cd of this single go ahead and get that, passing this one up.
