    Michael Zilber, whom jazz legend Dave Liebman calls “one of the best composers and players around anywhere, period!” was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. He moved to Boston in his late teens and to New York City in his early twenties.

    Eleven poems by former Poet Laureate Billy Collins, America's most beloved and widely known poet, set to music for voice, sax, piano, bass and drums. Andy Kirshner, an astonishing singer who mixes, pop, soul and traces of Johnny Hartman in his voice, gives perfect realization to the settings. Andy Kirshner (vocals), Michael Zilber (sax), John R Burr (piano), John Shifflet (bass), Jason Lewis (drums).

    Called a “do-it-all entertainment wizard” by the Ann Arbor News, Andy Kirshner is a composer, writer, singer, and media artist who makes new music-theatre. In the syncretic tradition of artists like Lee Breuer, Meredith Monk, and Laurie Anderson, Andy Kirshner’s large-scale “opera” projects undertake to re-imagine the musical stage. He also performs regularly as a vocalist with the award-winning, Hank Williams Project, an avant-jazz/country band led by the saxophonist Andrew Bishop.
