Project #6 (2007/08)
ZOO's latest
recording project, currently without a name, began in November
2007 with the capturing of backing and foundation tracks for a
number of new songs. The songs on this CD are even more jazz-influenced,
and we're looking forward to including more collaborations and
influences during the recordings.
