New York based composer/producer/drummer Zachary Berns declares the new 2-track EP is "jazz house from the NYC cats, pushing it foward" and who are we to disagree? 'canvas' and 'rendezvous' is where jazz n' house meet!
These tracks lean heavily on the late night trumpet a la Roy Hargrove to Herb Alpert in a swingin' hipster East Side Story way - finger poppin' jazz daddy-o; as you'll recall in our review of Mr. Berns last release, on Apparel Music, 'Oh Yes' (see review HERE) there were hints of 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).
Well, they all know there jazz heritage here and Jesse Klirsfeld (trumpet) and Luke McCrosson (bass) are an essential part of the mix as even the the jazzier 'rendezvous' has a heavy bass beat like a train that'll work in a jazzdance/club environment (Ed. if you check his insta, he does line a train scene background to his videos).
This is a big week for big tunes but this is not one to be missed.
