Bloom*iz Iz*one (아이즈원)

Collection includes 3 studio albums and 3 EP by American indie rock band Dead Heart Bloom.

Theryl de’Clouet, known to many as “Houseman” comes from New Orleans’ Hollygrove neighborhood and has successfully become one if its more famous offspring. Born, September 17, 1951 in New Orleans, Houseman grew up with the love of music instilled in him by his mother who brought the local sounds of Isadore “Tuts” Washington and Professor Longhair into their home. As a consequence of his mother’s enthusiasm for music, the house was always filled with the sounds of the greats: “My mother would call my brothers and sisters into the room where we would sit beside her while she played her 45’s teaching us the roots of blues and soul music.”

Jazz-iz Christ is Serj's brainchild, but truly is a collaborative effort between many musicians that Tankian curated to be part of the group and self-titled album. Among others, there are considerable contributions from renowned pianist Tigran Hamasyan, flautist Valeri Tolstov, and trumpet player Tom Duprey. Additional performances from Stewart Copeland and actor/musician David Alpay and Vincent Pedulla make for a very unique collaboration. The 15 tracks that comprise Jazz-iz Christ, a mostly instrumental effort except for 4 tracks, are an amalgam of progressive jazz, electronic, ethnic and even rock elements, displaying a unique presentation of the genre itself.
