Performing a high-energy showcase of innovative originals focusing on songwriting and technical ability, JRZ System present a unique blend of funk, rock and fusion. JRZ System was formed to provide three friends, three very talented musicians, a release for their creativity. Troy Johnson's massive bass in perfect time with Todd Roberson's precise drumming lays a solid foundation for Mark Zavon's guitar assault. JRZ System has received rave reviews from around the world about their self-titled debut CD, released their second CD greenhouse effect to more great reviews and recently released their third CD complete recollection. Bassist Troy Johnson, a professional player over half his life, has thousands of live performances to his credit. Performing at the Musicians Institute or alongside a diverse range of guitarists, Johnson feels at home on any stage. Guitar Player described his funk/rock chops and two-handed taps and harmonics as "extremely solid" and Bass Player said Johnson "tears it up on interesting tunes with a modern sound." Drummer Todd Roberson began his career with a study of percussion fundamentals and a dedicated practice regimen. His natural talents flourished and for three consecutive years he won all-state awards for drum-kit and snare solo. Through teaching, studio work and live performance Roberson continues to develop as a master of syncopated rhythms. DRUM! has featured his playing and arranging skills and stated "Roberson has startling technical ability as well as a melodic ear for drum-set orchestration." Guitarist Mark Zavon, influenced by many styles of music, has developed a technique combining speed and control of the instrument. Applying slides, harmonics and classical music studies to a blues based playing gives Zavon his individuality as a guitarist. Guitar Player described him as "a very thematic player with a good vibrato who conveys a strong sense of conviction in the notes he plays." Zavon's interview as a featured artist on "The Instrumentals Of Rock" gave him the opportunity to share his thoughts on music to a worldwide audience and showcase his playing skills. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/JRZ+System">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
