Shawn Feeney has posted an appreciation of the Austin Cobra Players. He writes of Zorn’s Cobra: “..it never dictates what to play, just how to interact.”

Grocery Runs Special on Fresh Cobra
Tomorrow is the third installment of theĀ Sonic Frontiers Workshop Series at The Grocery. I’ll lead an introduction to Cobra, a musical game created by composer, improviser and saxophonist John Zorn in the mid-eighties. Performers in Cobra use hand-signals and a set of colorful cards to cue ever-evolving musical combinations. Previous experience is not required, so bring an instrument or noisemaker to participate in this fun, fast-paced, sometimes hilarious way to make music together. (Of course, it’s also okay just to listen and watch if you want.)
