Zack Lober’s NO FILL3R ft. Jasper Blom

With a career spanning over twenty years as a sideman, Zack Lober has finally formed his own band according to his own concept: a perfect marriage of catchy, singable songs with fierce moments of spontaneous collective improvisation. The trio with rising stars Suzan Veneman on trumpet and Sun-Mi Hong on drums will be expanded for the occasion with tenor giant and Boy Edgar Prize winner Jasper Blom.

A native of Montreal, double bassist and composer Zack Lober came up in Boston and played the New York jazz clubs for eleven years, alongside respected band leaders such as Henry Threadgill, David Binney en Seamus Blake. In 2019 he relocated to the Netherlands, where he started this trio, following the examples of Paul Bley and Jimmy Giuffre. Last year the first album by this formation was released on ZenneZ Records. For the recordings at Wisseloord Studios, Zack called in the help of another Dutch jazz luminary, saxophonist Ben van Gelder, who produced the album.

‘Quietly adventurous’ (Downbeat).
