“I called the great French violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and I said ‘So, who’s the new cat? Who’s got the stuff? And he said Zach Brock.”
- Stanley Clarke
“Zach proves himself as composer, improviser and producer. With a fiercely charismatic presence onstage, Zach is the one on whom to place your bets in jazz."
- Patricia Barber
"Accept no substitutions: Zach Brock is the pre-eminent improvising violinist of his generation.”
- Neil Tesser Chicago Jazz Music Examiner
"Violinist-composer Zach Brock reveals traces of his main influence, Jean-Luc Ponty, on this daring acoustic trio project featuring Matt Wigton on upright bass and Frederick Kennedy on drums. Brock acquits himself with audacious ingenuity and masterful command of his instrument."
- Bill Milkowski Jazz Times
"Add Brock to the small list of players finding ways to bridge the potentially hazardous chasm between the violin and jazz... Brock is an intriguing young artist with a bright future."
- Don Heckman Los Angeles Times
"During “Amadeus Had A Dream,” stage lights were dimmed leaving the orchestra members in silhouette and the audience slack-jawed at the marvel of Brock’s Paganini-level mastery."
- Michael Jackson Chicago Sun Times
"Despite the sparseness of the band – a trio with only bass and drums, and occasional vocal texturing – the album offers a surprisingly rich stew that blends Brock’s expertise in jazz, indie-rock, and folk.”
