About Eric Zinman:
Born 5-22-1963 in Boston, MA. I have been around the arts most of my life. My mother taught art and art history in the Needham Public Schools. Theater and poetry were also big priorities in my family life.I began the study of piano when I was seven with pianist/teacher Angel Ramon Rivera. I also sang boys soprano and sang in opera and musicals as a kid. I was fascinated by modern music and continually wanted to get closer to this music called jazz where I found I could really express myself by creating music as opposed to interpreting it. When I finally experienced the real thing there was no turning back. I became reborn and dissolved in rapture.

For the past 18 years I have been involved in the Boston and national music scene. In 1995 I founded and produced the Playground new music series at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1999 I founded Studio 234.I have been honored to work with many fine musicians from all over the world: Craig Schildhauer,Laurence Cook, John Voigt, Raphe Malik, Sabir Mateen, Blaise Siwula,Glenn Spearman,Tatsuya Nakatani, Luther Grey, Glynis Lomon, Mike Lopez, Greg Kelley, Christoph Irmer, Libba Villavechia et al............ I collaborated on several orchestra projects with Raphe Malik and more recently with trombonist Chris Allen on projects including several large orchestra pieces featuring Boston Improvisers.I have also composed music for dance and theater using verbal directives as well as graphical scores. Currently I am working with bassist John Voigt and drummer Laurence Cook.


I studied with Bill Dixon at Bennington College in the early eighties. This completely changed my life. Later I pursued an M.M. at New England Conservatory of Music. I have also been greatly influenced by George Russell, Duke Ellington,Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons, Raphe Malik, Lowell Davidson, Jimmy Stewart, Edgar Varese, and Anton Webern et al.......
