Zero Grasses: Ritual for the Losses, by Jen Shyu

Zero Grasses: Ritual for the Losses

by Jen Shyu

supported by

Bob Ross I can't imagine anyone paired with Jen vocally other than herself...she blends her voice so magically with herself...and the ensemble....on top of that
Jen is so giving with an open heart

Cosmographer Zero Grasses is yet another masterpiece by a truly unique artist. Jen Shyu is a consummate scholar-practitioner. Her vast knowledge of East Asian musical traditions is audible in her voice, its impeccable articulation and expressive range.

This album focuses decades of intense craftsmanship to bear on deeply personal reflections on family, loss and growing up as an Asian-American woman. It's a deeply touching, beautiful record that I cannot recommend highly enough.

Lehman's most emotional and most beautiful album to date. This album manages to be complex and extremely interesting to listen to while also feeling like a strong expression of emotion. Lehman's trio is incredible as usual, and they synergize perfectly with Craig Taborn. rat
