Zjc – Season 1

Description

Zjc is the new project from three musicians familiar to many on the rockin’ scene – John Dobinson, who plays sax and piano and is the principal songwriter; Dragan Zac Zdravkovic, who plays guitars and upright bass, and Carl Dobinson, who handles all the drums and percussion. Zac, John and Carl play together in the Senti-Mentals, and John also performs with Zac’s band, the Jive Romeros. Having enjoyed working together, and with a shared sense of what it takes to produce a great new original record, the idea took shape to make a 4-track EP with all new original compositions, and featuring 4 different vocalists known and widely respected for their uniqueness and talent. The result is Season 1 – a mix of styles and tempos featuring the vocal delights of Ralf Zur Linde (the Crystalairs), Paul Eccentric (the Senti-Mentals), Glenn Brentnall (the Roomates and the Four Fenders) and Martin ‘Nobby’ Clarke (the Jive Romeros). There’s a lush ballad, a ska-infused stroller, a harmony-laden doowop jiver, and a Haley-inspired rockin’ jiver… all written specially for the EP and specifically for the various featured vocalists.
