Basement Blues is the 3rd collaboration by Zilber and Stowell, released in August 2016. The quartet, with bassist John Shifflett and drummer Jason Lewis, has worked together for a decade now, and Jazz Times reviewer DAN MCCLENAGHAN describes Zilber as a “soulful, flawless” player and raves that “with three disc’s now to their credit, the John Stowell/Michael Zilber Quartet has crafted a group sound as individualistic, and as modernistic and compelling, as any out there.”
