ZEROPOINT WHAT?

The 16-piece Zeropoint Big Band has been knocking the socks of Central PA music fans since 2009. Their post-modern-retro approach to big band jazz leaves few musical stones unturned. Their playlists range from classics from Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Thad Jones, and Duke Ellington to reimagined rock-and-roll anthems by Queen, the Who, U2, and the Beatles.
Zeropoint is a who’s-who of regional jazz all-stars, with a raft of fantastic soloists. Recent appearances include performances at the Dauphin County Wine & Jazz Festival, the Weis Center for the Performing Arts, the State Theatre, and the Central PA Festival of the Arts. |
