Koby Israelite Live

Koby Israelite is an Israeli multi-instrumentalist in the John Zorn mold (and on the John Zorn Tzadik / Radical Jewish Culture label). that video isn’t the greatest, but will give you a taste. I’m particularly in love with his album ‘Dance of the Idiots.’ Here’s the album description:

“Koby Israelite is a young Israeli musician living in London who enjoys smashing genres together and grinding them into dust. Koby has absorbed an astounding array of musics, and blends them together here in dynamic and colorful musical world all his own. As complex and finely crafted as naked City, Frank Zappa or Mr. Bungle at their best, the music on Dance Of The Idiots, Koby’s debut recording, is a passionate exploration of the Jewish experience. Cantorial Death Metal, Nino Rota Klezmer, Balkan Surf, Catskills free improvisation. You’ve never
heard such sounds.”
