These are the first ever recordings made under the Masada name. Zorn brought this tape up to WKCR and broadcast these selections just a week after the first gigs. Includes some interview segments. The sound on this is not quite as good as my usual KCR broadcasts,as I got this in trade, and I used a bit of noise reduction, but this is really fascinating stuff for Zorn fans, as this line-up quickly gave way to the Douglas/Cohen/Baron quartet. And the Station ID's are hysterical.
