"Two Roads" represents a bold new musical direction for Dann Zinn, embodying his dedication to continued artistic exploration. Over the past two decades, Zinn has crafted a unique body of original work, influenced by Jan Garbarek's Nordic folk-inflected compositions and his own roots in American Jazz and East Bay Funk. The album features esteemed collaborators Rachel Z, known for her work with Steps Ahead, and Omar Hakim, famed for his performances with Sting and Branford Marsalis.
The album's opening track, "Yarak," showcases Hakim's dynamic drumming and Zinn's soaring saxophone solo. "The Sound of Ice Melting" highlights Zinn's love for folk melodies, while "Pros and Cons" echoes the influence of Lenny Pickett. The title track, inspired by Robert Frost’s poem, features Denson's wordless vocals and a rich, rhythmic backdrop. With compositions ranging from the cinematic "A Revolution of One" to the evocative "Prayer Again," Zinn's "Two Roads" is a profound musical journey.

East Bay Punk
The East Bay Punk is the 7th track on my newest album "Two Roads". Think Brian Eno meets Bartok meets James Brown.
"Two Roads" represents my eclectic influences over a lifetime in jazz. This new music has been influenced by Jan Garbarek's Nordic folk-inflected compositions and my own roots in American Jazz and East Bay Funk.
This is truly an all- star band! Rachel Z is known for her work with Wayne Shorter, Steps Ahead and Peter Gabriel. Omar Hakim, famed for his performances with Sting and Branford Marsalis among many others - and Jeff Denson for his stellar work with Lee Konitz, and Brian Blade. All three are brilliant leaders in their own right.

Dann Zinn Two Roads - Prayer Again
Просмотров 88Месяц назад
Tenor saxophonist Dann Zinn named Two Roads-his sixth album, set for an October 4 release on Ridgeway Records-for the words of poet Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken.” Like the poem’s narrator, Zinn stares down a fork in the road, faced with a choice that will make all the difference. Backing him on this expedition through eight distinctive original compositions is an incendiary, innovative qu...
