Editor's review
Even in the jazz genre, known for its odd niches, "zoological" counts as weird. Certainly, it seems unlikely that an outfit categorizing itself as such would play simple, pretty jazz-pop tunes, but that's exactly what this Irish group does. Its combination of piano, strings, and sweetly wistful vocals sounds like a jazzier addendum to Carole King's Tapestry.
Biography
An on-going project to capture zoological chords and funky moments. A loose group of international musicians playing jazzy tunes. "This bird is commonly called the jackass penguin, from its habit, while on shore, of throwing its head backwards, and making a loud strange noise, very like the braying of an ass; but while at sea, and undisturbed, its note is very deep and solemn, and is often heard in the night-time." (Charles Darwin, The Voyage Of The Beagle)
