ERIC ZINMAN
At the forefront of creative music for more than 20 years, pianist Eric
Zinman's has performed throughout the US and Europe. His Playing has been described by
Bob Rusch as a "fleet and appealing touch". His conception is to create the orchestra of tomorrow through unified fields of human sound in varying units both in mass and in relation to each instrument and its individual voice. This is the American conception of the soloist based in Black Music.
Eric Zinman's piano style is marked by his relation to the trap set drums, varying
densities of sound masses and melodies spanning the whole keyboard with a surprising variety of touches, dynamics, phrasing and silence.
There is also an arresting balance between the pedaled and unpedaled
sounds. He has also recently added the Euphonium to his arsenal of sounds. Mr. Zinman has also composed music
for dance and theatre using verbal directives as well as graphic scores.

improvisation. Glynis has been privileged to play with Bill Dixon,

William Parker, Greta Buck, Dennis Warren, Lowell Davidson, and many
