50th Birthday Celebration Vol. 4

Recorded at the Tonic club in New York to celebrate John Zorn's 50th birthday, this blistering set presents the massive Electric Masada ensemble in peak form. Zorn forcefully conducts the group through violent jump-cuts, transitioning from heavy, grooving klezmer melodies into terrifying walls of noise rock and free-jazz screeching. It showcases a virtuoso group of downtown musicians executing impossibly chaotic shifts with extreme precision.
