One of the most virtuosic and emotive voices of contemporary jazz violin, Zach Brock has followed a path which embraces not only jazz, but also classical, world, and popular music. From critical acclaim as a bandleader to collaborations with Stanley Clarke, Snarky Puppy, and Phil Markowitz, Zach has been heralded as “the pre-eminent improvising violinist of his generation.” The Chicago Tribune recognized Zach’s recording “Almost Never Was” as one of the top ten jazz recordings of 2012 and Downbeat Magazine’s 61st Annual Critics Poll named Zach it’s “Rising Star” Violinist of 2013. In addition to recording and touring as both a leader and sideman, Zach teaches for The New School in New York City and is currently an “Artist In Residence” at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Zach will appear at Point Richmond Jazz, 201 Martina St. in Point Richmond on February 27 at 7:30 with drummer, Mark Ferber, and keyboard/organist, Sam Barsh.
