Their newly released third CD, aptly titled Let’s Fly, is a high spirited project with instantly compelling melodies over tight rhythms. The smooth balance of lead instruments draws the listener in and keeps them engaged from start to finish.

This lively group quickly became an integral part of the Philadelphia jazz scene thanks to the intense interest by Michael Tozzi, founder of ijazzglobal.com and PD of the former Philly smooth jazz station, WJJZ. Tozzi has paired the group with national musicians at the popular jazz hot spot, Warmdaddy’s in Philadelphia. ZOÉ has performed with or opened for: Mindi Abair, Keb Mo, Phil Perry, Jeff Kashiwa, jazz flautist Sherry Winston and numerous notable, inspirational speakers. ZOÉ has captivated audiences beyond the Philadephia/South Jersey area with their infectious rhythms that roll from smokin’ funk to supremely sensual.
