Artist History What is Zentrance? Zentrance is a way of life and a way of music; it is what Ron, Sean and Derek strive to achieve every time they step on stage to perform or what they practice at home. The word Zentrance can be understood in many different ways. The most important way is the music, as it always has been for these three very different individuals. Every musical experience these gentlemen have had in the past have all culminated into one thing - Zentrance. Zentrance manages to touch upon many musical genres in one gig. In an hour of music one can expect to hear everythin g from jazz, improv,rock, funk and even a little folk. Their sets comprise of mainly originals as well as some covers. Influences of the band include Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, Phish, Gong and The Ozric Tentacles. Zentrance is a jazz/funk fusion band based out of Nashville, TN. Each member of the band has come from various musical backgrounds. Zentrance formed in October 2000, since that time they have spent much time practicing and producing many originals. Zentrance is composed of three distinct members. The first is the backbone of the group, Sean Wilson. Sean is the drummer of Zentrance and has b een playing drums/percussion in many rock bands for the past 10 years. Sean's unique musical taste allows him to play many styles of percussion, including straight rock to funky beats. Which leads to Ron Cook (better known as R.C.) Ron is the guitarist and coconspirator of Zentrance. Ron and Sean have collaborated on many projects over the past 10 years. Zentrance is the latest and by far the greatest. Ron also has a diverse musical background participating in Madrigals and Chamber Choir. Ron is also currently studying jazz composition. Then there is Derek, the bass player. Derek moved from Durango, Colorado to Nashville to pursue a career in the music business. Derek is the newest addition to the band and has brought to Zentrance a new funky twist to their sound. Together Zentrance produces a very new and unique sound.
