MASADA SIX

"Even if I haven't heard all Masada's records, I can say Vol.6 is a great Jazz album. J. zorn (as), D. Douglas (t), G. Cohen (b), J. Baron (dr) fly from free or blues to klezmer, from Ornette Coleman's influences, to latin innuendos, with an amazing easyness. Zorn and Douglas build from paralel lines to to rich dialogs; Cohen's bass reminds me somme of the C. Haden's richest works for the Ornette's quartet; Baron's drums sound like Baron is dancing in joy. I really enjoy listening to this record first thing in the morning, not because it's easy listening, no, but because it's happy music in all its rich complexity. J.L."
