Eric Zinman synthesizer In a live, free, outdoor concert Covid-19 protocols in affect: distancing, face covers, max attendance. “For over twenty years, pianist/composer Eric Zinman has been crafting his own approach to his instruments…(yet) he views himself as an ensemble player. His music feels lived with and explored thoroughly…with a wide dynamic range. The interplay is speech-like and unpredictable; the instruments seeming to merge their colors in a very unique way”. All About Jazz. You can expect sets of (energetic) and (intricate) interactive, solo and collective ideas into improvisations between these terrific and major Boston creative Jazz and free-form artists after a long spell away from live, in person performances! Bio: Born Eric Green Zinman in 1963, he began the study of piano and voice as a child with interests in classic music, Broadway, Bill Dixon, George Russell and Jimmy Guiffre. As a teenager he discovered black music and modified his approach in jazz, blues, gospel, and the music of the strip clubs. Later composition studies with number of ensembles with Laurence Cook, Craig Schildhauer, John Voigt, Syd Smart and Glynis Lomon. In the mid 2000s he began to tour Europe with Mario Rechtern and later Linda Sharrock. Played with post rock—free jazz greats drummer Weasel Walter and noise guitarist Sheik Anorak. As he is fond of saying “Music is two souls rubbing together”. He believes music is an essential part of the human story. Since 2000 he has recorded 18 albums and has been reviewed in 9 languages. Mr. Zinman has also composed music for dance and theatre using verbal directives as well as graphic scores and with painters and poets. He has written about music and musicians and is recorded on Ayler, and Cadence Records. In 2005 Eric Zinman founded New Language Collaborative with cellist Glynis Loman and percussionist Syd Smart. Not excluding his work with percussionist Laurence Cook, New Language Collaborative has become the life blood of Mr. Zinman’s work in the US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X2ft7o2Ag0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGhd6ZoTTYw Music Series is proud to support The Creative these musicians and live music! https://fb.me/e/66pQcW287
