Zabap meets Jazzismo. The concert includes Jazzismo’s Cuban and Latin-jazz based material, Zabap’s roots in Martinique and Ghana, and Eugene’s Colombian sounds. It’s an exciting range and it showcases how jazz can draw from all over the globe. Zabap includes Eugene Uman on piano; Derrik Jordan, leader of the world beat band Simba, on electric violin; and VJC stalwart Jamie MacDonald on bass. Zabap is completed by three percussionists: Doug Raneri (drumset), Steve Ferraris (percussion), and Julian Gerstin. Raneri is a polyrhythmic master who has performed with numerous regional groups. Ferraris’s credits span from the Sun Ra Arkestra to West African djembe drumming, and he is also a charter member of Jazzismo. Gerstin’s background includes folkloric traditions from Martinique, Ghana, and Cuba, as well as several experimental jazz ensembles. As Zabap’s organizer and composer, Gerstin says his goal is to create jazz from traditional sources that usually remain untapped.
