Title: A good showcase for early Masada.
Product review: I have all ten Masada CDs (from "Alef" to "Yod") on the DIW label and had the good fortune to see them in concert twice - when they'd only been together a few weeks and after they had recorded their seventh DIW CD. All of the DIW CDs are great but a little expensive. For a solid compilation of earlier Masada performances "Live in Jerusalem" is a good buy. This CD contains material from the first 3 CDs - maybe more, I haven't compared track listings. The first time I saw Masada they were still coming to grips with the material; this recording proves their mastery of it. The band stretches out on the material and everyone plays well; the recording captures the sound of four exceptional musicians having a really good night.
