This is going to be a big deal to many, many happy folks! I just played it and the sound and performance are both great! "After over 10 years, Tadik is finally releasing an exciting series of live recordings by one of the most unique and infamous bands ever: Naked City. Featuring John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Fred Frith, Wayne Horvitz and Joey Baron, this was a true downtown supergroup brought together to realize Zorn's twisted compositional vision, combining jazz, movie soundtracks, rock, r'n'b, hardcore punk, cartoon, country and western and just about everything imaginable - often all in the same piece. This first volume is a beautifully recorded document of the band early on, performing live at the club that served as their home base from their very first concert series in 1988 to their very last in 1993. Captured here performing the reperory of their legendary first recording many months before they entered the studio, this is Naked City at their gritty, fast changing best. New solos, wilder improvisations and some original compositions and covers that never appeared before on disc make this an absolute must for all Naked City fans around the world." [Tzadik]
