It is the third album of Masada band Masada recordings. Reception The Allmusic review by Marc Gilman awarded the album 4 stars stating At times sounding like an Eastern Ornette Coleman , and sometimes playing with the rampant fury that is characteristic solely of Zorn himself, the band has incorporated and evolved the form of jazz. This album is certainly a highlight of the Masada collection as a whole, and provides a great introduction to the band. Some of the songs can be found reworked on Bar Kokhba album Bar Kokhba as well.
