About the artist:
SECOND WORLD is an alternate musical universe, exploring light and shadow, joy and sadness, the conventional and the unfamiliar. The music fuses traditional jazz forms with elements of new age, rock, and electronica. An “electronic orchestra” of drum programming, keyboards, fretted and fretless electric basses, as well as MIDI bass are all put to work in its realization. All the music is written and performed by electric bassist ERROLL ZASTRE. Originally influenced by the Beatles, other genres and artists eventually became infused into his musical fabric including the explorations of Miles Davis, the world fusion of Weather Report, the unique guitar of Robert Fripp, and the synthesized ruminations of Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and Isao Tomita. By creating all the musical elements and textures, Erroll strives to reach a unique musical vision. Admittedly, this departure from traditional group music making will not be for everyone. However, if you like the musical style dubbed “Nu Jazz”, “Electro-jazz” or “Future Jazz” which blends elements of jazz with other styles such as electronica, and turns the focus of the music to the compositions and not the virtuosity of the performers, then SECOND WORLD may be for you.
