John Zorn's Bar Kokhba - Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, Poland, 1999-06-25 (full)

[@tfranklin]

One of the best benefits of living in NYC was having access to Zorn concerts at The Knitting Factory and Tonic. Seeing Bar Kohkba and the Masada quartet live was so magical and transcendent. It lives in my soul and gives me life even 20+ years later.

God and his son Yeshua offer you life and life in abundance if you want it. Everything else is the vanity of vanities, but I appreciate your sentiment and a part of me is envious of you. However, I know that all of what we see, taste, touch, smell, and hear is hardly even real. Indeed, most of the universe (about 90%!!?) is composed of matter we can't detect with our human sensory devices. And truly, that which you cannot sense in the natural world and in the visible universe around you would be the true source of your life, sir. Everything else is just a fragmentary reflection of the eternal realm.

Indeed! Always a treat. One of the many things i miss

18:42 Feldman: "I hate you!" - Zorn: "I know!" how can you not love these guys

[@pbzp]

hah! thanks for catching that. and the evil cackle zorn does after...

[@toprak3479]

LOL Amazing. Another funny bit is at 19:19 when he points to his head to signal them to return to the head.

Earning their paycheck for sure!!

Remember coming across this after doing a wiki seaech on Marc Ribot after loving his work on Tom Waits' stuff years ago. It's simply one of the best live performances in music/art in general. The feelings projected and felt throughout is unmatched. Marc Ribot is an anomaly, no other like him. John Zorn is a genius for the vision and execution, absolutely flawless

[@al591]

Curiously same thing for me😮

[@tomekolek8613]

@@al591 Check Mark Ribot with another GREAT group Lounge Lizards, few years earlier.

[@louiesimon5292]

Damn, this is good. So glad I stumbled on it today. Have several of his Bar Kokhba albums but always felt this was a band all about live performance. This video proves that. Wonderful music ! BTW, Marc Ribot is a genius.

The most important composer of the last 40 or 50 years. John Zorn is THE MAN. I'm truly a believer and He is my own prophet.

Amazing musicians, each and everyone.

[@gvocanales]

Muy buenos, felicidades

[@tjancijr]

Ribot's solo in "kisofim" might be his best, at least that I've ever heard. Open to other recommendations.

[@manucerroify]

Meraviglia!

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

In my opinion ribot playing zorn is where its at......always

The last one made me think of Arvo Pärt, does anyone know if there is any connection?

[@garymelnyk7910]

As an Arvo Pärt fan of many years I agree. I would say Zorn definitely listens to him!

[@pigammon7843]

what's the percussion instrument that's really loud in my left ear?

[@mehmettahsincakmakc8199]

could you please tell me which jazz genre this guy is making

[@tomekolek8613]

irrelevant what genre it is.

[@mehmettahsincakmakc8199]

@@tomekolek8613 yeah i was yet to learn it is avant-garde and it is relevant with his existantial philosophy

[@SpicyInvalid]

John Zorn's facial expression with his mouth open and his tongue stuck to one side of his mouth is a funny look for such a young man. It's an expression that I think would look more natural on the face of a fat, old filmmaker directing a crucial scene in the second act, maybe Alfred Hitchock.

[@ollieelkus]

what kind of hand drums are those in the first tune?

[@fabio9699]

udu drum
