Zachary is currently involved in a number of projects, one of which being the Zachian Jazz Duo. (www.myspace.com/zachianjazzduo) Formed during 2007, the Zachian Jazz duet is a wonderfully paired team of seasoned musicians pursuing the art of jazz. Ian Robinson, tenor saxophone, has been performing and recording for over ten years. He is a graduate of Elmhurst college where he studied with Mark Colby, among others. Ian's smooth and sensuous tone permeates every beat of the duet, which is outdone only by an impeccable sense of time. Zachary Biggus, electric guitar, has also been performing and recording for a number of years. The chordal textures and sensitivity zachary manifests through the guitar evokes the perfect layout for Ian's sultry sound.
“True Jazz fans will absolutely love the [8] track CD as it combines smooth jazz, funk, soul and rock.” ” Nine5four magazine
