"Upping his game, he hooks up with mega-producer Paul Brown on his new collection WALK THE WALK. With Brown contributing his trademark guitar licks, Zinn vibes with saxophonist Andrew Neu and other special guests (including Michael Paulo) in exploring a whirlwind of spirited grooves and vibes, from ambient and bluesy to mid-tempo sensual, and deep, in the pocket funk. If you like horn solos and tight horn sections, you’re going to WALK THE WALK and dance the dance!" ~SmoothJazz.com
"Trumpeter Rob Zinn has a knack for composing songs with infectious melodies. His debut project is engaging and it was a pleasure to be a part of it!" ~Gerald Veasley
"...contemporary jazz filled with real musicians, playing music that's honest and not afraid to step out of the box... and yet maintains a cohesiveness that works like a great symphony!" ~Andrew Neu
"'...a great mix of jazz, blues, funk, latin, R&B and pop styles... and will leave you wanting "More Tomorrow." ~Norrie Lynch
