Review: Zachary Berns (Zbeeez) - Oh Yes! EP (Apparel Music)

New York based composer / producer / drummer Zachary Berns declares 'Oh Yes!' from the jazz n' choir meets house that sits between gospel at one extreme and classical at another!

The title track 'Oh Yes' reminds me of a church choir in amongst the setting for the famous black-and-white photograph of 57 jazz musicians, 'A Great Day In Harlem' (Art Kane for Esquire magazine in 1958) as a modern studio production.  A track counter balanced by a jazzy classical cut up called 'Living Room' and the opener 'Shadows' with the trust of the live drumming and a service call bell for supper's ready.

This EP has the genre skipping cool that's over K&D/Ninja Tune/house edits to jazzdance clubs.

Any of these tracks would fit musically on the album, 'Apparel Music: B-Day 15' (see review HERE: if not on the time-line) and this will equally cross-over with any jazz-fused crowd so it's big in our world.

P.S. Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s, Jazz FM, Gooner and more) is a fan - see below.
