http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab The Second Step, a second generation ska band in NYC in the 80's who quickly absorbed the work of NYC musicians in punk, jazz, funk and latin flavors. Zen toured the country with acts such as the Toasters, Jimmy Cliff, Toots and the Maytals, Gil Scott Heron, The Maura McCabe Band and others. "I got away from that scene for a total disdain for touring", he explains, but has kept music as a private obsession. Over the last 7 years you might have seen him sitting in at jam sessions around town -- blowing through Thelonius Monk or Charlie Parker compositions. "I love playing and have no illusions about setting the world on fire or fame and money. Music is in my bones. It's just something I do." www.myspace.com/zenskinsoundlab]]> Virb 2.0 (@zenskinsoundlab) en http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/239334 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 05:55:43 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/239334 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/231225 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:10:38 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/231225 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/231223 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:08:21 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/231223 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/231222 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:07:27 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/231222 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/198472 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:49:27 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/198472 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/170744 Sat, 15 Sep 2007 23:35:10 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/170744 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/138606 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 04:30:33 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/138606 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/107302 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 23:11:07 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/107302 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91361 Tue, 29 May 2007 21:46:03 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91361 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91359 Tue, 29 May 2007 21:42:48 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91359 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91358 Tue, 29 May 2007 21:41:19 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91358 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91357 Tue, 29 May 2007 21:40:16 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91357 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91355 Tue, 29 May 2007 21:38:34 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91355 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91354 Tue, 29 May 2007 21:37:07 -0700 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/audio/91354 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/videos/1749296 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:41:45 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/videos/1749296 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531008 ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:33:42 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531008 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531007 ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:33:40 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531007 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531006 ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:33:38 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531006 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531005 ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:33:35 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531005 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531004 ]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:33:27 -0800 http://virb.com/zenskinsoundlab/photos/1531004
