Dirty Mindz, the ninth solo album from acclaimed violinist and Grammy Award-winning Snarky Puppy member Zach Brock, was almost fated to not see the light of day. In the months – and, thanks to the pandemic, subsequent years – after the bulk of the album was recorded at Dreamland studios in upstate New York in October 2019, the much sought-out musician kept hitting a wall with the project. “There were many times I gave up on this record mentally,” Brock explains, but whenever he considered moving on to something new, the unfinished album kept pulling him back in, its tracks latching onto him like magnets each time.
“I had put my whole heart into these songs and that’s what made it possible for me to revisit them after so much time.” he reasons. His first solo release for GroundUP Records, Dirty Mindz draws inspiration from all areas of the musician’s life – his family, childhood, lifelong love of music – to create something that crackles with passion, energy and ideas.The record represents a liberation of sorts – one that shuns pretentiousness and ego in favor of inventive ideas that link back to the core of what jazz means to Zach. “One of the things that drew me to jazz as a rebellious teenager was a message in the music – that defining your own voice was not only encouraged but celebrated,” he says, and Dirty Mindz takes him on a fresh voyage to achieving that with the help of a spectacular ensemble, including Snarky Puppy’s Mark Lettieri, Chris Bullock and Justin Stanton, Grammy-nominated bassist Jonathan Maron and lauded drummer Eric Harland.
