John Zorn's Cobra: Tokyo Operations '94 is a live performance of John Zorn's improvisational game piece Cobra, recorded in Tokyo in 1994 featuring Japanese musicians and instruments. The piece had been released in two previous versions on Hathut (Cobra in 1985) and the Knitting Factory ( in 1992) and was subsequently released on Zorn's own label Tzadik Records in 2002.
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars, stating that "it's the traditional Japanese instruments that make this a version of Cobra to remember."[1]
