Boy's music teacher broke out the soprano sax today. I said "you have to be real real good to not sound either like a dying cat or Kenny G."

This required explanation so I played some Kenny G. Boy said "uh, I think I like John Zorn better than this."

To which the other boy said "who's that?" so I played him this:

No need to thank me, Fediverse, I know what I've done for you.

#TIL how to share a YouTube video at a specific time marker...🤣

It's all about some Post Bop #Klezmer tonight!

Probably the first of my favorite songs from #JohnZorn and his #Masada ensemble.
Also, pretty much one of the first albums of his that I bought along with his Painkiller "Execution Grounds" project. Both blew the top of my head off when I first heard them in 1994.

Regretfully, I've never seen any of the iterations of Masada. I was, however, fortunate enough to catch Painkiller on their first tour through Seattle at Moe's Mo' Rockin' Cafe up on Capitol Hill.

This song "Abidan" off the album "Gimel" is much less frenetic, with significantly less #skronk, and more of a slow jazz-noir burn compared to most of their other work. "Hazor"(the 2nd song after this one) is another slowish, kinda swingin' tune.
