"Listening to Zen Widow is like flipping through a sheaf of pages ripped from a sketchbook: sometimes you get fully worked out pictures, at other times drawings too fragmentary to do more than intrigue and bemuse. . . These are striking conjunctions of disparate materials, like a musical equivalent of the Surrealist game of “exquisite corpses.”

Formed in the spring of 2003, the members of the Zen Widow trio had already earned solid reputations for pushing the edges of contemporary jazz and improvised music. They share a quest for seamless interaction, built upon a broad base of style and genre that gives life to the manifold directions of their music. With an international lineup featuring Sicilian Gianni Gebbia and Bay Area members Matthew Goodheart and Garth Powell, the group has performed to critical acclaim throughout the US and Europe, including performances at the San Francisco Alternative Jazz Festival, Seattle Polestar Festival, Werkstatt für Improvisierte Musik (Zürich), and Blaue Fabrik (Dresden). Their first CD ZEN WIDOW, an eclectic mix of piecies ranging from 17 seconds to 8 minutes, received enthusiastic reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. Their new CD QUOD LIBET, to be released in early 2007, is an exploration of collage form, combining melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic fragments from jazz, popular, and classical music from many eras.
ZEN WIDOW is available for digital download on iTunes, Rhapsody, Bitmunk, AudioLunchbox, MP3tunes, Napster, and many others
