pacificlectic : concert reviews & eclectic music news

this week in the Village Voice:
John Zorn: Deciding to spend a year in NYC with no traveling has led me to one of the most creative periods in my life. In the past four months alone, he has recorded six albums and written the music for three others.  He initially planned 12 Tzadik releases for 2010, one per month, but tends to underestimate his own frenetic output, as “it looks like it will be more like 15.”

So, anyone go to the Masada Marathon at Abron’s Art Center in New York yesterday or today (Feb 17-18)?  How was it?
