Milan, November 17, 2009
An excellent concert, a performance exciting band in a state of grace.
The Masada Quintet has lost his way the sax Joe Lovano (injured shoulder, out of the game for a year) but gained to Chris Potter . Issued without a network between the roughness of the rhythmic and uplifting repertoire of pitfalls John Zorn , after an uncertain start to the Potter (in his first live with galaxy Masada) has been unleashed, showed sapersela draw very well. Essential support and guidance of Dave Douglas (trumpet), Uri Caine (piano), Greg Cohen (bass), Joey Baron (drums). In the early part of the exhibition Douglas has voluntarily assumed the role of temporary leader , then return to normal when the balance of expression / communication between the five (which in fact are all leaders) and especially the involvement Potter has been successfully achieved.
An hour and a half hours of live music, based on the nine compositions " STOLAS: Book of Angels, Vol 12 "which, in the course of the applauded evening at the Teatro Manzoni in Milan, have been enriched by long and inspired improvisations.
Great moments of interplay between Uri Caine and the brilliant acrobatic Joey Baron, close and casual, to provoke each other with great humor.
be noted moments high the concert, joined in the songs Psisya, Tagriel, Tashriel and Haamiah .
Jewish Culture and jazz music free from limits or brakes intellectuals, mixed with a passion for music, this is the Masada Book Two . And now we do a little 'accounts: Masada Book Two-Book of Angels consists 300 compositions written by the prolific John Zorn and methodical in a few months in 2004, after the celebrations for the 10 years of experience Masada (Book One). Since 2005 some of these songs came to life, that was played / arranged / performed by numerous musicians and ensembles, as Jamie Saft Trio, Medeski Martin & Wood, Cracow Klezmer Band, Bar Kohkba Sextet, Masada String Trio, Koby Israelite, Erik Friedlander , Mark Feldman, Sylvie Courvoisier . STOLAS, seen / heard live November 16, 2009, the protagonist of the 12th volume, is an angel, or rather it was , like all the 'hosts' series Book of Angels: it is not in fact of angels with halos and white dress, but the fallen angels, creatures that exist between the darkness. STOLAS, in particular, is one of the great principles of hell, commands 26 legions of demons, has expertise in astronomy and is very familiar with herbs, precious stones and poisonous plants. In the Dictionnaire Infernal the painter paints Collin De Plancy Stolas as a long-legged owl and disproportionate.
who want to learn more about these angels / demons that both fascinate and stimulate John Zorn (mysterious and esoteric scholar of Judaism) can spend their evenings reading by candlelight in the dark pages of 'The Grand Grimoire' .
