4.0 excellentEasterInTheBatcave | July 9th 16

One of Zorn's most seminal records, Bar Kokhba is a double-disc release featuring chamber music and solo renditions of a selection of Zorn's Masada tracks. Though it doesn't all work-- "Mochin" is a dreary thirteen minute guitar excursion-- there is remarkable musicianship and variety to the proceedings. The genres present are modern classical, jazz, and avantgarde-- but it's all very listenable, with none of the screeching noise prevalent on many of Zorn's other projects (which will undoubtedly be a disappointment to some). The Zorn-led Bar Kokhba Sextet derived their name from this record.
