Masada String Trio
The Masada String Trio performs selections from the Masada songbook in a
classical-cum-chamber jazz form. Personnel include Mark Feldman (violin),
Erik Friedlander (cello), and Cohen, bass. With the addition of Marc Ribot
(guitar), Cyro Baptista (percussion) and Joey Baron (drums), this same
group has performed 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.

Bar Kokhba
Bar Kokhba is a lounge music style band with, among others, Cohen, bass,
Marc Ribot (guitar), Anthony Coleman (piano), David Krakauer (clarinet),
John Medeski (organ) and piano, Mark Dresser (bass), Kenny Wolleson
(drums), and Chris Speed (clarinet). Various arrangements of these players
can be heard on the albums Bar Kokhba and The Circle Maker, both under
Zorn's name.

Electric Masada
One of Zorn's most active Masada project of recent years is Electric
Masada. Drawing on Zorn's wide ranging stylistic influences, the band
takes the Masada songbook into a whole new direction, reminiscent of
jazz fusion and noise rock. The group, which includes Baron, Ribot,
Wollesen, and Cyro Baptista, from previous Masada groups, as well as
Trevor Dunn on bass, Jamie Saft on keyboards and Ikue Mori on
laptop/electronics, continue to take the Masada themes and transform
them into something entirely new.
