“Involved 2020” album

“Involved 2020” is 20 instrumental Pop/Jazz songs in small ensembles of 4 piece bands with strings and brass sections, “Involved 2020” contains instrumental versions of songs created during the isolating COVID-19 pandemic.

The 20 songs were produced in collaboration with lyricists living all over the world, including in New York, Idaho, California, Washington, Canada, India, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Hungary, and Australia, reaching out and connecting with other creatives through internet songwriting collaboration websites. 

As a composer, arranger, orchestrator, pianist, vocalist, and recording engineer, Zane produced these recordings and performed all of the instruments by himself, in his professional recording studio, in isolation.

Songs on the album are reminiscent of works by Stephen Sondheim, Paul McCartney, Chicago, John Bucchino, Stephen Schwartz, and Billy Joel.
