John Zorn’s The Dreamers (New York)
The Dreamers is a new suite by the ever-prolific composer for a band with the same personnel as Electric Masada. Here, John Zorn unabashedly mines a feeling of nostalgia, as the ensemble explores material that draws on surf music, organ-trio jazz, film music, and psychedelia, with Marc Ribot’s inimitable guitar playing nearly always at the centre of the music-making.

John Zorn’s Electric Masada (New York)
‘Masada’ refers to John Zorn’s book of 500-plus brief compositions that, in their deployment of traditional ‘Jewish’ modes as provocations for improvisation in oft-extreme contexts, are at the core of his exploration of what he calls “Radical Jewish Culture,” played here by the most active of his many ensembles.
