REVIEW
"This music has had a long gestation, and you can expect it to be as yearning and affirmative, as joyful and sorrowing, as the traditions from which it stems.the musically omnivorous Zak has listened to, absorbed and played it all, and all of it colors her writing on this project." -- Mikhail Horowitz, "Woodstock Times"

"Zak.blurring the line between praying and playing with the help of five world class musicians." -- Todd Paul, "Chronogram"

"Zak.drives hr gifted ensemble through time warps and across cultural bridges to create original and compelling compositions" -- Lawrence Bush, "Reconstructionism Today"

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Whether in concert or on this CD, The Zoe B. Zak Ensemble delivers something soulful. Zoe, whose writing combined with her sultry vocals, piano improvs & accordion playing adeptly weaves many a musical path together leading this group to wonderful and enexpected places. Paul Marienthal, who creates many an elegant flute line, more often plays rhythmically and through his sub-vocalizing drives quite a few of the pieces on this CD in surprising ways. Johnny Platania's signature phrasing and responsiveness to the vocals makes his guitar an active participant in the prayers. The rhythm section of Mark Murphy ( bass), John Rush (drums), and Brian Melick (percussion) preserves the ancient feel of the music while driving it flawlessly through very modern twists and turns.
