Eddie Zip - A Night In New Orleans

When you talk about great New Orleans singers and piano players today, Eddie Zip must be included. Eddie is a musicians musician; songwriter, producer, and arranger. It was not about the money, that musical greats played in his bands. There is a common thread that runs through Eddie Zips work. It’s soulful New Orleans.

It all started for Zip at age two. His mother taught him piano while he was still in diapers. His Grandmother was a great Ragtime piano player. She had family jam sessions every Sunday in her living room in New Orleans.

Vocally, he loved Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley. And it’s easy to tell by his heart felt way of singing. Just listen to the soulful velvety vocals on “The Letter” and “All These Things”. Note the melodic and vocal phrasing on “Sunset Boulevard”. And you won’t miss his awesome display of raw funk on “Ridiculous” and “I Like Your Kinda Love”. He has also collaborated with Dr. John
