Цитата:
"Live In Jerusalem" is a terrific live recording of what must have been a cathartic moment for Masada, performing live for the first time in Israel. And what a concert it is; this is one of the few live albums where you can actually *feel* the connection between audience and performer. The Jerusalem Festival audience were most likely getting their first real taste of the band, and they respond with enthusiastic applause, as well as tickled-pink laughter at points. This album is also, in my opinion, the best recorded live Masada album, though bassist Greg Cohen does seem a bit undermixed to me.
A song like "Jair" shows what this band is all about and what Masada are like at their best. Obviously using the original Ornette Coleman Quartet as their jumping-off point, this band in no way sounds like they are imitating Coleman or paying him homage. This is pure Zorn; the new Jewish poetry. Passionate and with the utmost conviction, Masada finds musical space that not too many jazz bands can reach; an expression of pure crystalline joy, like a dancing naked child.
Give it repeated listens. Soon the curtain will part, and all the wonderful melodies, stream-of-consciouness improvisations, and telepathic music communication will come to the fore.
This was the best live jazz album!
