Saw Zach & Kevin at The Pour House last night in Raleigh, and had a pretty insightful chat with Zach afterwards. I asked if he'd been in touch with, or played with Krantz, Stern, Oz, etc... at all lately, and he said (paraphrasing) "Yeah, I've tried to steer clear of those gigs, and I've been pretty successful so far....." I asked if it was due to not wanting to be just another dude in the line of top guns, and he basically said yes. This reminded me immediately of Vinnie's 2007 MD Interview where he mentions Zach:

"MD - Zach tired of the razzle-dazzle.

Vinnie - Because it's a dead end, man. There is no fastest gun. There's always going to be another Wyatt Earp. You challenge yourself because you want to feel freer and integrated with the instrument and with music. That's really what you're doing. Zach said something very valuable; he told me, "I've found another way to express myself that is satisfying to me." It's easy to twist that and say, "I will rip the walls apart and express myself." Fine. But Zach is saying that he's expressing himself musically because of his awareness and what his idea of musicality is. And the reason why he sounds so good with Wayne Krantz or Boomish is because of his musical depth."

This track and "Dream Called Love" gets heavy rotation from that CD.
