Hey folks, a few thoughts on the performance. My friend Chris and I attended both nights...
First, the Book I show on Friday was fantastic, but the Book II set on Saturday totally blew it away. It's without a doubt one of the finest performances I've ever heard. The new material was really interesting, extremely diverse and all over the map. A lot of it also had a real playfulness to it that hasn't really been around in the Masada material much (think "Bacharach", not "Hath Arob").
My usual sources for info in the city indicated there is as of now no New Year's Eve plans. Kind of a bummer.

Bar Kokhba: Lucifer: Book of Angels Volume 10 [#7367]
"Lucifer is the first studio recording in over ten years by the most popular and best selling Masada ensemble ever. Here they play better and tighter than ever, blending Sephardic and Ashkenazi sonorities with latin, surf, world music and more in an inimitable easy listening instrumental style. Lyrical and soulful, this is some of the most exciting and enjoyable chamber music you are ever likely to hear.Lucifer is yet another brilliant release from Zorn’s Book of Angels—one of the most consistent and compelling collections on Tzadik."

Amazon has this listed with a release date in March... I wonder if they will release it before volume 9.
