Album Notes

Shunyata Records™ is proud to announce the release of the CD, "Zen Blues Quartet™", by the group of the same name.

Comprised of some of the best studio musicians in LA, it features: Steve Ferrone - drums (Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Average White Band...), Jeff Young - keyboards, (Sting, Jackson Browne, Donald Fagen...), Tim Scott - bass and lead vocals (Jack Mack, Tower of Power, Robben Ford...) and John March - guitars. With special guests Rev. Dave Boruff - tenor sax, Tom Saviano - tenor sax, Steve Madaio - trumpet, and Milen Kirov - keyboards. Recorded "Live" at Westlake Audio this past December, and Mastered at Capitol Records.

This CD is a fantastic snapshot, of a moment where musicians played together with passion, and a total disregard for what might happen later. We just played because we love playing music! We know--a crazy concept!!! But...

Live music with real musicians, really playing. No slick effects, no pitch correcting the vocals in Protools, just music!

For more information about this project, please visit our site on the web at www.zenbluesmusic.com

If you like the CD, then please forward this email to all your friends, and help us subvert the corporate agenda
by keeping real music alive and kicking!

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Best wishes

John March and all the members of ZBQ
