This is Irish-based Zrazy's fifth CD of original contemporary vocal jazz. Already the Irish critics are loving it:
"an absolutely marvelous album..nothing else like it being produced in Ireland. The lyrics are beautiful spiritual poems, the musicianship superb". PJ Curtis, legendary broadcaster and music writer.

From the ecstatic groove of Angel Walking, the 9 min funkathon of Drive, to the Cuban swing of Keep It Real & the irresistible Dream On title track, the Zrazy gang get happy & get down. Dream On winds down with the ultimate chill out, the elegiac Amen.

"Dream on baby, and don't mind what people say." Zrazy have always gone their own way & this album invites you to come along for the ride.

Carole & Maria are accompanied by the ever-excellent Phil Ware on piano, Geraint Roberts on bass, Kevin Brady on drums, Denny Jiosa (Nashville) on guitar & Cuban percussionist Glen Carouba. Produced by Michael Moryc in Nashville.
