Writing in the Boston Phoenix, author Norman Weinstein (A Night in Tunisia) declared that Bobby Zankel deserves any Talent Deserving Wider Recognition Award that the jazz press might offer. In reviewing Emerging From The
Earth, the Jazz
Times wrote, He's headed to status as a prime jazz innovator. But
who is Bobby Zankel, and where has he been? The Brooklyn-born
composer/saxophonist first began attracting attention in the early
70s for his work with Cecil Taylors Unit Core Ensemble (Downbeat
9/71) as a skillful young altoist with a powerful music at his
fingertips. His underground reputation grew on the New York Loft
Scene, where he performed with the likes of Ray Anderson, William
Parker, and Sunny Murray and where he continued his apprenticeship
with Taylor.
Zankel became a Philadelphian in 1975 to raise his family and to expand his artistic vision without heed to commercialism or the trends of the times. Since 1975 his performances as a sideman have ranged from the Hank Mobley/Sonny Gillette Quintet, to Jymmie Merritts Forerunners, to the Dells, NRBQ, Odean Popes Saxophone Choir, Ruth Naomi Floyd, and European work with Taylor. Zankels intensive studies of tonality and rhythms with Maestro Dennis Sandole have lead to his development into one of the most brilliant and original composers of the 90s.
