John Zorn / Electric Masada - Karaim (part 2)

Remarcable Amitié Ray

well,could be suggestive as background music for some movie ,maby a scene on bordello with a bit of the usual violence would fit.
Otherwise it´s a onechord song wiyt quite guessable soloparts. and that often is not enough for me.
But rather this than 87% of the comercial rubbish.
It has feel to it.
But

i think there is much more to an inspired musical composition than cord complexity, which is not always necessary or desirable (think of Ravel's BOLERO). I find Zorn's music very unique sounding even if the soloparts are somehow predictable.

Modal music worked OK for Miles Davis. c.f. "Kind of Blue".

he's even more wicked sounding in this video, because he is playing a baritone electric guitar.

yes, you could be right. but his tone is quite low and it looks like he's got baritone strings on that guitar, even if it's a standard electric. a definately baritone electric guitar sound. maybe somebody else will know for sure.

actually it's a gibson melody maker, I don't know why I mixed the two up.. there's no baritone melody maker , there's a shorter scale version though.

Part 1 is very good, too...
