Title:	50th Birthday Celebration Volume Seven
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 5007

"As the members of this classic quartet get busier and busier, performances get rarer and rarer. This first set out of six they performed over three nights during Zorn's infamous Birthday month, was on fire from first note to last. Filled with wild extended solos and dizzying group conductions, this unforgettable evening of music highlights show this amazing band continues to grow into its second decade. Included as a bonus is a CD-ROM video of the band live at Tonic, accessible on your computer."

Title:	Live in Middleheim
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 7326

"Crossing the Atlantic to meet in Belgium for the first time in almost six months, and going their separate ways less than twenty hours later, Masada's concert in Middleheim was under pressure from the very beginning. Reaching full out intensity in the first thirty seconds of their very first piece, this is Masada at their wildest -- simultaneously out of control and yet intensely focused like a laser beam. 'I felt like a squirrel being dragged behind a Mack truck.' --Greg Cohen Beautifully recorded by the Belgian radio."

Title:	Live In Sevilla 2000
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 7327

"Beautifully recorded by Sevilla's La Tirana recording unit just two months ago, Masada's concert in Sevilla is a remarkable string of special moments from beginning to end -- a perfect balance of mind, heart and balls. Intense, tender, beautiful, exhilarating, over the top, featuring plenty of the telepathic group interaction and attention to detail that has become Masada's trademark and some outrageous solo excursions by all four members, (including a show-stopping seven minute drum solo by Joey Baron), this is a must-have for all fans of acoustic jazz and one of Masada's best concerts ever."

Unreleased studio recordings from 1994-1997, by the original Masada group of Zorn, Douglas, Cohen & Baron, packaged in an elaborate hardcover book, with 52 pages of notes/photos. "Twenty-nine sterling studio performances never available before from what many consider to be one of the most important instrumental ensembles of the past quarter century. Over two and a half hours of rare alternates, many even more exciting than the original releases, were handpicked by Zorn from the legendary sessions of 1994-1997 and are accompanied by a lush booklet filled with photos, scores, written tributes and remembrances. This pioneering band, that spearheaded Radical Jewish Culture and helped bring Jewish music into the 21st Century, continues to inspire Jews and music lovers the world over with an original musical language of honesty, imagination and originality drawing on many pasts and looking toward a myriad of futures. This is where it all began."
