Back with a Splash!
This is Irish-based Zrazy's fifth CD of original contemporary vocal jazz. Already the Irish critics are loving it:
"an absolutely marvelous album..nothing else like it being produced in Ireland. The lyrics are beautiful spiritual poems, the musicianship superb". PJ Curtis, legendary broadcaster and music writer.
From the ecstatic groove of Angel Walking, the 9 min funkathon of Drive, to the Cuban swing of Keep It Real & the irresistible Dream On title track, the Zrazy gang get happy & get down. Dream On winds down with the ultimate chill out, the elegiac Amen.
"Dream on baby, and don't mind what people say." Zrazy have always gone their own way & this album invites you to come along for the ride.
Carole & Maria are accompanied by the ever-excellent Phil Ware on piano, Geraint Roberts on bass, Kevin Brady on drums, Denny Jiosa (Nashville) on guitar & Cuban percussionist Glen Carouba. Produced by Michael Moryc in Nashville.
Feelgood radio-friendly tracks include:
Tk 6 Dream On uplifting, irresistible chorus
Tk 1 Angel Walking ecstatic groove
Tk 8 Keep It Real Cuban pop swing
Tk 7 Drive 9 min funkathon -fade-out anytime or at best full length kick-ass
For laid back night-time listening check out:
Tk 3 I Know When Your Are Near a lush romantic jazz ballad
Tk 10 The Water is Wide a heart-wrenching version of the traditional song &
Tk 11 Amen inspired by the coast of Doolin in Clare.
Meanwhile Tk 5 Five Birds, Tk 4 Maroc, Tk 9 If My Love Were A River & Tk 2, the Miles Davis influenced Rain, head out to weirder and wilder places.

I was very pleased with the vocal/sax mix. It's a jazzy blend that appeals to most everyone. Friends constantly inquire - Who's that?

Absolutely Awesome Sound
author: L Tracy ,California Dreamer
I took a chance and ordered this CD without previously hearing or knowing the artists and I couldn't be more surprised or pleased by Zrazy. They are wonderfully intune with one another and their voices and music are awesome.
I was hoping for something with a celtic flavor and found a universal sound that soothes the soul. Thankyou.

Wow! This is totally brilliant!
author: Sally Webb
Wow! This is totally brilliant. These girls take my breath away. Great songs, sexy sax, a wonderful singer who makes you feel she is singing only for you. The title track Dream On should be a single.
