Zach “Z. M.” Green is a widely talented and versatile musician well-versed in an extensive variety of musical genres, ensembles, and realms of writing. Born in Columbus, Ohio to a family of hobbyist musicians, Zach knew at a young age that his love of music wouldn’t be limited to just a casual pastime; it would become a deep passion of constant writing and learning. After being surrounded by Barbershop vocal music, casually tinkering at the piano, and drumming on household objects, he took guitar lessons for five years, while simultaneously putting his interest in rhythm to use by playing percussion in elementary and middle school bands. It was in middle school where Zach became fascinated with recording and producing music, creating short covers of pop and classic rock songs at home. Around the same age, he gained experience as a performer playing guitar in a student-led bluegrass band, gigging across central Ohio.

Wilma Baan

When you hear So Nice, the debut release from vocalist Wilma Baan, you may wonder why you haven't heard her before. Wilma's rich, mellow tone, impeccable timing and elegant delivery pay homage to her musical influences (Julie London, Nancy Wilson, Dianne Reeves) on this accomplished recording of 12 treasures from the standard repertoire. The arrangements by Graham Harvey provide a sparklingly fresh take on these much-loved songs including a wonderfully sensitive version of the inexplicably under recorded 'Day by Day' and on a poignant rendition of 'Here's to Life', producer Claire Martin coaxes every nuance and shade from Wilma's charming vocal performance. Chris Traves' mellifluous trombone solo on 'Close Enough for Love' demonstrates the generous contributions made by Chris (he also co-produced the album with Claire Martin) Josh Morrison and Dave Chamberlain throughout the recording (Dave can be heard playing the guitar on tracks 1 & 8). For Wilma, So Nice represents the fulfilment of a long-held ambition; to record songs that have deeply moved and inspired her and that have sustained her love for the jazz repertoire through the years
