I notice that the line-up (John Zorn (alto sax), Marc Ribot (guitar), Cyro Baptista (percussion), Kenny Wollesen (drums), Jamie Saft (keyboard / synthesizer / lap-steel guitar) & Trevor Dunn (bass)) is almost the same as "The Gift" except for Wollenson instead of Baron. Is this the normal line-up for Electric Masada? Does "The Gift" sound anything like Electric Masada? I haven't yet heard either.
That does seem to be the usual line-up, give or take Medeski. The EM stuff is as congenial to non-Zorn listeners as THE GIFT, but is even better in some ways -- more stretch-out opportunities for Ribot, who SLAYS on this shit. sh
