About

The shortest distance from the head to the heart is through the cello: Montana’s Lee Zimmerman takes audiences there and back again on the song of his five-string. He dazzles with an eclectic mix of classical technique, soaring improv, and shameless whimsy. He may surprise you with a 17th century dance tune from the courts of Europe, a jazz number with vocals, or one of his original songs from the heart. He uses looping to create soundscapes-layering sound as a painter to an easel. His voice with cello emerges as a duet- using sometimes complex harmonies to blend a magical sonic portrait.
