Jerry Z is a fresh voice on the organ/keyboards and is quickly gaining recognition as one of the most original and innovative musicians on the New York jazz/funk scene. With a style all his own, Z has captured the attention of audiences at home and abroad with fresh melodies, potent grooves and soulful compositions.
Notable collaborations include two recordings for soul-jazz pioneer Melvin Sparks “Groove on Up” (featuring Z’s funky opus “Onion Patch”) and “This Is It”; Jim Paynes “Sensei” and “Energie”; and John Basile’s “It Was A Very Good Year.” Sought after as a sideman, Jerry Z has enjoyed performing and recording with Doug Munro, Delbert McClinton, Hiram Bullock, Adam Nussbaum, John Scofield, Mark Whitfield, Bernard Purdy, Fred Wesley, Oz Noy, and others.
More recently, Jerry Z has been touring with the Headhunters and Mike Clark’s “Prescription Renewal Trio.”
