The Bay Area saxophonist / composer's 11th recording as leader or co-leader is a labor of love that reflects both his keen sense of the history of the music and his infinite capacity to swing. Citing the profound influence of seven sax masters - Michael Brecker, Sonny Rollins, Dave Liebman, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, John Coltrane and Paul Desmond - Zilber, along with New York greats Dave Kikoski on piano, bassist James Genus, and drummer Clarence Penn, has fashioned a potent homage that is infused with all-knowing nods to his heroes. •"Zilber is flawless, soulful...a sound as individualistic, and as modernistic and compelling, as any out there." - ALL ABOUT JAZZ •"...art music of the highest order performed with passion, wit and verve." - JAZZTIMES
