Missoula based group, the Joan Zen sextet, combines Zen’s “powerful pipes” with an interesting combination of players including Eric Hutchins on guitar and trumpet, Milan House on keys, Branden Barker on bass, Brandon Zimmer on drums, and Jason Hicks, Zen’s husband, on saxophone and E.W.I. (electronic wind synth). The higher ground messages mix with soulful, funky, grooviness slip-sliding from bluesy to disco, from jazzy to reggae.
