With over 13 years of experience on stage, Hampton hand-picks band members and charts for each performance that are exclusively tailored to the venue and listeners. Zak captivates kids and adults alike with his wild enthusiasm and passion for performing and teaching music. From The Wiggles, Raffi, and The Beatles, to Sonny Rollins, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and many more, Zak’s background in jazz and his improvisational style makes each “familiar tune” sound new, fun, and engaging to listeners of all ages.
Listeners can expect to be indulged in works from the blues, swing, and bebop eras of jazz as well as unique jazz-funk–fusion-infused tunes from chart-toppers, wedding-bangers, and basement-parties across the decades; all performed with inspiration and wisdom learned from studying the great tenor saxophone players like John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins, and Stan Getz, to name a few.
