Masada: Beit, also known as ב or Masada 2, is a 1995 album by American jazz composer and saxophonist John Zorn.

“John Zorn’s absorption of klezmer motifs into avant-garde jazz is remarkable in itself, but even more extraordinary is Masada’s utter command of the two genres’ fiercely visceral energies. … Simply stated, this is one of jazz’s greatest groups.” – Jim Smith/AllMusic.
