Title: It's not the original Masada but that's okay, right?
Review: This CD reminds me a bit of the Masada double disc release just before it. Different artists looking thru there own eye glass at Zorn's compositions - compositions that are/were intended by and large for the Masada Quartet. Overall the songs are strong, only a few lacking depth and interest. Fantomas performs on track 10 featuring a stellar performance but a poor effort on mixing and/or recording in the studio. They had the same problem on the "directors cut" album from Ipecac. Wadada Leo Smith is interesting...The two best tracks are the first one, under the direction of Eric Friedlander, and the 3rd track, featuring a confident Dave Douglas boldly arranging the composition with two other sax players, Zorn and someone else. Just what the Doctor ordered on that one!
