REVIEWS

I dare you to take Chemistry out of your CD player.
author: Krystle Beauchamp
I definitely enjoyed Chemistry. After stumbling onto In Thoughts And Dreams, I had to hear the rest of it. Almost Never Was is my personal favorite...the stylings of Zack Brock on that one are sultry and soulful, and being a Louisiana native, I felt as if I were on the bayou. The CD is just classy, and I have yet to take it out of the CD player--except to upload it to my iPod. Definitely check this one out. I do wish that the CD was longer, though!

Grabs your attention

I heard "Unchosen" on the local college radio station twice in one day recently and was intrigued by the number of instruments playing what seemed to be a simple melody over and over, each time winding around just a bit differently. There was something wistful about the tune, something that grabbed my attention and would not let go until I tracked it down that night and ordered it. I never thought of violins as a jazz instrument, but it works. It simply works.

Zach Brock, definitely!!!
author: Chris Morano
Okay - I have not heard the album but am buying it tonight – literally JUST discovered it!! If you have never heard Mr. Brock you are in for a treat and a shock!! I met him a year ago in Chicago when he worked with a singer named Spider Saloff - you have no idea how blessed this man is - TOTALLY different that what you may think IS jazz violin (Venuti, etc.) and BRILLIANT! AND...such a nice guy! BUY this album NOW before you cannot afford it...or him...I'm getting mine NOW!! Chris Morano, San Francisco
