I prefer the live Masada discs. "In Sevilla" is the best, but i keep listening to "In Jerusalem, maybe because of the fond memories, i was there, and also to "In Taipei". The last one caught Masada in one of their more so to speak mainstream jazz moments.

"The Circle Maker" is without Douglas but with excellent players, the usual suspects- Marc Ribot, Erik Friedlander, Mark Feldman, Cyro Baptista, Greg Cohen and Joey Baron, and it is more coherent than "Bar Kochba". "Masada Guitars" is beautiful and i really loved the pieces that are played by Ribot and Tim Sparks.
