Sampler Script:

Welcome to the Musical World of "Zamar".

The musicians of Zamar are seasoned performers who add their arranging and compositional talent to the musical recipe for the day.

The magic of Zamar happens when your guests "catch the Spirit " of accomplished musicians taking absolute delight in the togetherness of great instrumental music, whether jazz and contemporary standards or creative, crowd-pleasing original pieces.
