Masada: Vav, also known as ו or Masada 6, is a 1995 album by American jazz composer and saxophonist John Zorn released on the Japanese DIW label. It is the sixth album in the Masada project. Reception The Allmusic review by Mark Kirschenmann awarded the album 4½ stars stating "John Zorn's writing is particularly focused and well-informed, full of serpentine lines, mixed meters, and sudden shifts in tempo, while leaving plenty of room for collective and individual improvisation. The ensemble and the individual playing are uniformly superb throughout".
