ZIMZUM,s influences start with the melodic jazz funk of Weather Report, Spirogyra and Pat Metheny. Combining the joy of that music with a harder edge, influenced by the modal explorations of John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and Dave Holland gives us the freedom to delve deeper into our own musical journeys.
Our original compositions have strong melodic roots and improvised evocative musical sound scapes woven into open interior structures and overlaid with funky grooves.
