Masada String Trio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Masada String Trio is a chamber music ensemble comprising Marc Feldman (violin), Erik Friedlander (cello) and Greg Cohen (double bass) formed for the performance of works by the composer John Zorn. The trio performs as a freestanding trio or, with the addition of Marc Ribot (guitar), Cyro Baptista (percussion) and Joey Baron (drums) as the Bar Kokhba Sextet. The performing style of both groups is characterised by the use of improvisation (sometimes conducted by Zorn himself) and its use of the inflections of Jewish music that are part of the compositional language of Zorn's "Masada" themes.
