Bar Kokhba (album)

Bar Kokhba is a double album by John Zorn, recorded between 1994 and 1996.

[1] It features music from Zorn's Masada project, rearranged for small ensembles.

[2] It also features the original soundtrack from The Art of Remembrance – Simon Wiesenthal, a film by Hannah Heer and Werner Schmiedel (1994–95).

The AllMusic review by Marc Gilman noted: "While some compositions retain their original structure and sound, some are expanded and probed by Zorn's arrangements, and resemble avant-garde classical music more than jazz.

But this is the beauty of the album; the ensembles provide a forum for Zorn to expand his compositions.
