Hiromi’s Sonicbloom: Hiromi Uehara (piano, synthesizer), David Fiuczynski (electric guitar), Tony Grey (electric bass) and Martin Valihora (drums) playing in Japan (2008). From the album Beyond Standard (2008).

In a similar style to the iconoclastic John Zorn’s band Masada, Hasidic New Wave played intense jazz and acid rock along with a Middle Eastern flavored Jewish melodies, and their performances were meditative and full of passion with long improvisations. They released five albums: Jews and the Abstract Truth (1996), Psycho-Semitic (1998), Kabalogy (1999), Live in Kraków (2000) and From the Belly of Abraham (2001). Meanwhile, since Fiuczynski couldn’t find a record company willing to produce his strange music, he created his own label Fuzelicious Morsels.

In 2000 he issued Jazz Punk, in which he uses ingredients from his favorite musicians or those with whom he had previously worked in a very eclectic combination: Chopin, Duke Ellington, George Russell, Chick Korea, Jimi Hendrix, Pat Metheny, Jack Walrath and Ronald Shannon Jackson, but integrating everything in his own way of making music. In 2001 he edited Amandala, this time with completely original tunes, and it’s based on his prodigious technique and a multitude of tones processed using electronics and distortion.

Also, since his group Screaming Headless Torsos hadn’t presented anything new for six years, he bought the copyright of two concerts held at the Knitting Factory club in New York in 1996, remastered them and marketed with the title Live!!. In them we hear versions of songs from its latest work Screaming Headless Torsos in which Fiuczynski’s solos are mostly atonal and all the members of the band give their best, with four new songs. In 2002 Fiuczynski launched Black Cherry Acid Lab, a hybrid of funk-rock, rap and punk with singer Ahmed Best and tenor saxophonist Mark Shim recorded between 1996 and 1998, in which he masterfully shows what he can do with his adrenaline-filled guitar.

Hadn't heard of 'Black Cherry Acid Lab' before. I know what I'll be listening to at work tomorrow. Thanks!
