In this video Zorn discusses not only the evolution of the Masada Books 1 & 2 composition, but also contains glimpses of his workbook which outline his plans for Masada Books 3 & 4.

Some may not agree but it like watching Motzart compose

Thanks so much, I have to keep coming back to this video (among others) because I love seeing Zorn himself talking, he's one of my most favorite composers (classical and the rest) and he's one of the most fascinating people! :)

There's a fourth Masada book too? and as far as I know he's still recording book two, and only recently giving some live concerts of book three. I wonder what'll happen when the book three stuff starts getting released (I wouldn't mind it going back to the older format of acoustic masada recording a lot of it).

There's no fourth book, John himself said it is a trilogy
