Product DescriptionOn his third solo album, Karl Blau overtly mirrors African musical influences with hints of blues, soul and rock steeped in l'herbe de Northwest and he calls it Zebra. This recording explores the frontiers of folklore, adding one instrument at a time (drum, guitar, bell, keys, saxophone, flute, piano) in an organic process of response to this confluence of sounds. Blau is adept at imaginative and sweet songs about education, work, love and society; with his expressive and gentle baritone, Blau asks the eternal question: "what's next?"
