Bank Robber Music 2005
Being a drummer in a mid-1990’s seminal band that sounded like the Zombies might leave you with a nice resume and not much else, which is where Jason Zumpano stood a few years ago. Now, with Sparrow’s second record, The Early Years, (Absolutely Kosher), Zumpano proves that drummers can also front bands (”Photograph” by Ringo was no fluke!). String swells? Check. Catchy harmonies? Check. Pianos? Check. One of the summer’s best songs? Check, check, check.
