Eyal Maoz - Edom
EAC - LOSSLESS (Seperate FLAC+cue+Log+auCDtect log)+COVERS | Total Time: 01:03:25 | 388 MB
Released: 2005 | Genre: Fusion, Jewish, Avant Garde, Jam | Label: Tzadik Records | Cat #: TZ8105

Israel-born, New York-based guitarist Eyal Maoz's debut release on Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series, Edom, is not officially part of the ever-multiplying series of tributes to the Masada songbook by Tzadik's founder and visionary, John Zorn. But in many ways, Maoz pays his respect here to the canonization of Zorn's new Jewish music, and even more so to a Zorn associate in many incarnations of Masada, guitarist Marc Ribot.
Maoz is the founder of the fusion-neo-klezmer Lemon Juice Quartet, which released three adventurous and eclectic releases (Visitor: Live, Self Released, 1999; Republic, Chant, 2001; Peasant Songs, Piadrum, 2002). The group's last release featured Maoz's arrangements of music by French composer Erik Satie and Hungarian composer Bela Bartok. The LJQ also performed a tribute to the Masada songbook on Voices in the Wilderness (Tzadik, 2003).

Edom features acoustic and electric bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, Maoz's associate since the formation of the LJQ, who is also a member of other new-klezmer outfits on Tzadik, such as Rashanim, Satlah, and Pharaoh's Daughter's Basya Schechter. John Medeski (of Medeski, Martin and Wood fame) has performed Zorn's Electric Masada on the B3 organ, and drummer Ben Perowsky recently recorded the Masada songbook with Jamie Saft's trio (Astaroth: Book of Angels, Vol.1, Tzadik, 2005) and has worked with Uri Caine, Dave Douglas, and Chris Speed.

Edom offers nine original tracks, all penned by Maoz. The best pieces are the ones that distance him from Zorn's legacy and the Masada songbook, such as the opening track, "Innocence," which features Maoz and Medeski raging and dense, playing fusion lines pushed by the tight and aggressive rhythm section of Blumenkranz and Perowsky. On the second part of "From There," Medeski's playing brings to mind the raw sound of early releases by MMW. But unfortunately these occasions are rare. On other tracks like "Hope and Destruction," "Deep," "Chita," "Big," and "Strength," Maoz follows Zorn's angular scales and themes, and these tracks could easily have assimilated within the repertoire of Zorn's Bar Kokhba Sextet. Maoz's use of vibrato on these tracks is quite reminiscent of Ribot's guitar work with the Bar Kokhba Sextet.

Each member of the quartet plays spectacularly throughout Edom, but considering the breadth of Masada-related releases and tributes—including the recent fusion incarnation of Rashanim's daring covers of unrecorded Masada songs on Masada Rock (Tzadik, 2005)—I would expect more from Maoz, based on his already proven compositional skills with the Lemon Juice Quartet.

I get an error message when opening the zip file (after joining the two downloaded files with HJSplit):

* Winzip error message: start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt.
* WinRAR error message: Unexpected end of archive

However, I was still able to extract the file using WinRAR (except track #6 - CRC error).

marmaduke0, can you please reup track #6? Thanks.

Uhmm, no (it was very late last night).

Regardless, 7-zip doesn't work either. As a matter of fact, it's worst than WinRAR. At least with WinRAR, I'm able to extract all but track #6. With 7-zip (using version 4.65 r3), I only get tracks 7, 8 and 9. Here's the error message I get with 7-zip:

BTW I downloaded the file twice last night and the same error crept up on both, so I don't think the problem is on my side. If it's too much bother to reupload, then don't worry about it. Thanks anyway.

I'm using 7-zip 9.15 beta

and I just downloaded the files and checked them - everything is 100 % OK!

Thank you! I don't have any problem with unzipping.Eyal Maoz sounds for me like one "easy listening" Masada, without sometimes wild and radical twists characteristic for the Zorn music. Interesting, good players, excellent for someone who likes Zorn but find him sometimes too offending.
