Zero is the foundation stone of jazz-rock fusion psychedelic jam bands, using improvisation to explore new possibilities in music. After more than a decade as a purely instrumental ensemble, they partnered with the Grateful Dead’s lyricist Robert Hunter and developed a vocal side as well. Steve Kimock, Greg Anton, Pete Sears, Spencer Burrows & Hadi Al-Saadoon are touring in support of their latest album ’Naught Again’, a super-high-fidelity recording of previously unreleased tracks from an epic three-night-run at the Great American Music Hall in 1992.  They’re the real deal. 

Early in 1980, Steve Kimock joined former Grateful Dead members Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux’s Heart of Gold Band, which already happened to have Greg Anton as its drummer. Keith fell victim to a car accident and the Heart of Gold Band went away, but the connection that Greg and Steve shared has endured. The duo immediately recorded an album of new music which would be released decades later, then started a band. Having gone through many, many names, Greg asked Steve how many were left on the list to consider: “Zero” was the answer, and Zero became the quintessential jazz/rock psychedelic band, a pioneer of the “jam” band scene. 

They went years without vocals, creating such instrumental-only gems as Here Goes Nothin (1987) and Nothin’ Goes Here (1990), albums so good that Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab re-released them, and then Go Hear Nothin’ (1991).  Along the way they played with some of the Bay Area’s greatest talent:  John Cipollina, John Kahn, Banana, Martin Fierro, Hadi Al Saadoon, Bobby Vega, Nicky Hopkins, John Farey, Vince Welnick, Merl Saunders, Tony Saunders, Liam Hanrahan, Chip Roland, and Steve Wolf. 

A casual conversation with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter in the early ‘90s sent the band in a new direction, and they added vocalist Judge Murphy. In 1992, when Zero gathered for three nights at the Great American Music Hall to perform their new songs with Hunter lyrics, they had Grateful Dead sound director Dan Healy on board to record them, and the result was the brilliant and beloved Chance in a Million . 

As bands will, Zero came and went—and always came back, to the extent of 1,300 shows and eight albums...and number nine, titled Naught Again , is out now. Magic is hard to catch but impossible to forget, so Zero flies again in 2022 as they celebrate a record release of more material from those 1992 shows with a tour. Nothing beats Zero.

“ Both Pete and Melvin,” said Anton, “ used the word magic to describe it. We worked, as Zero does. One thing Steve and I have is a shared work ethic. We played for many hours before each show‚ because the songs needed to be honored.”  

Magic is hard to catch but impossible to forget, so Zero flies again.

ZERO REVISITS KNOTTY HISTORY WITH LIVE ALBUM & EAST COAST DATES

If you put on the cleverly titled new live album from Zero, “Naught Again,” you’ll be transported back to the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, almost 30 years ago to the week. You’ll hear a Bay Area band at the top of its game, painting gorgeous sonic pictures with its compadres, many of them since gone, such as band members Martin Fierro and Judge Murphy and guests Nicky Hopkins, Vince Welnick, John Kahn and Robert Hunter .

“Zero did, I don’t know, 1,300 shows or more,” says drummer Greg Anton, who first crossed paths with guitarist Steve Kimock in Grateful Dead vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux’s Heart of Gold Band. “And so living with people like that, Martin Fierro, one of the master saxophonists, he was just an incredible person. You never hear anybody say, ‘That guy sounds like Martin Fierro,’ and likewise, you’ve probably never heard anyone say, ‘That band sounds just like Zero.’ Because I think we had our own thing, and Martin was a big part of it.”

The 2-CD set, dedicated to the musician friends who have passed, is gathered from a run at the Music Hall that produced the 1994 album “Chance in a Million.”

“What happened was was Brian Risner, who mixed this record, said at this point the mastering has gotten so much better these days, you ought to think about remastering that record, it could sound like a whole new record,” says Kimock. “See if you can find some bonus tracks so there’s something new.

“So Greg found a bonus double album,” he says with a laugh. “The shows were wonderful, and they were significant to us at the time, because at the time we thought that the Great American Music Hall was the room to play in San Francisco, and we were really excited. Once we cracked that one booking, that one room, that felt like something else at the time. Otherwise, you’re at the Full Moon Saloon or something like that, everything else felt like a bar.”

Kimock, Anton and John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service started Zero in 1984 as an instrumental group. Connecting with Hunter, the wordsmith partner of Jerry Garcia on countless lyrics that have become cultural touchstones, took Zero to a different level, as heard on the new discs.

“I played drums with Robert Hunter, with him playing guitar and singin’ just a couple times, and I ran into him at a party,” Anton recalls. “He said, ‘You know, that band Zero, it’s a great band, but your audience is mostly other musicians. How about some songs?’ So we gave him some instrumental stuff and started writing with him.

“To write with Robert Hunter was such an honor. The guy is incredible. He pulls things out of thin air. We wrote about 25 songs with him. He’s just like a magician.”

With the new tunes, Zero booked the Music Hall, invited their friends — including Hunter, who did on-stage announcements — and recorded the shows. “And Dan Healy, the Grateful Dead sound guy, pretty much brought the Grateful Dead studio and installed it in the basement of the Great American Music Hall for three nights,” Anton says.

The sit-ins from the likes of Hopkins (Rolling Stones), Welnick (Grateful Dead) and John Kahn (Jerry Garcia Band) were emblematic of shows in the Bay Area at the time.

“We always had so many guests,” Kimock says. “Another one of my dear friends, Doug Green, who passed away, did a Zero family tree. It’s ridiculous, there’s like a thousand people on there. Every band, people from every place. It was not unusual that there were guests or that there were a great many people around the band. It also speaks to what a great sort of creative community and fertile kind of art scene that was still there at the time. San Francisco in the ’50s and ’60s and ’70s was just like a big enough sort of energy center artistically that it really hung on.”

A reconfigured Zero is touring the US, with Kimock and Anton joined by bassist Pete Sears, who played on “Naught Again,” and Haidi Al-Saadoon (trumpet) and Spencer Burrows (keyboards and vocals). They’ll play Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, Oct. 27, Ardmore Music Hall on Friday, Oct. 28, the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on Saturday, Oct. 29 and the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock on Wednesday, Nov. 2. Kimock’s son, John Morgan Kimock , will sit in as an additional drummer at the shows in Brooklyn, Ardmore, Stroudsburg and Baltimore (Sunday, Oct. 30 at Baltimore Soundstage).

As for new material from Zero, that depends on who you ask. Kimock says Anton is pushing on that front, while he’s focused on the task at hand of the tour.

“I’m always getting ahead of my skis and excited to do more new stuff,” Anton says. “He and I have played together for 40 years, it’s kind of  a balance. Here’s an insider scoop of the workings of Zero on this very topic. We’ll be at a concert, and Steve will walk over to me and say, ‘What do you want to play?’ and I’ll say the name of a song, and he’ll look at his guitars and say, ‘I’m not tuned up for that one,’ and I’ll say how about so and so? and he’ll say, ‘Naw, I don’t feel like playing that one tonight.’ And I say how about this song? and he says, ‘I’m not ready.’ And I say, ‘You pick one,’ and he says, ‘No, you go ahead and pick.’ And that’s how things work in Zero.”

Zero Confirms New Live Album, ‘Naught Again’, Shares Track Featuring Intro By Robert Hunter [Listen]

Bay Area institution and jam forefathers  Zero  have detailed plans for a new live album,  Naught Again . Available digitally on May 20th via Omnivore Recordings , the 13-track document captures a legendary run of shows at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall  in 1992.

Recorded during Zero’s October 14th–16th, 1992 run at the famed San Francisco venue,  Naught Again  highlights a pivotal juncture in the Steve Kimock / Greg Anton  fronted group. After 12 years of existing as an instrumental ensemble—born from the ashes of  Keith  and  Donna Jean Godchaux ‘s  Heart of Gold Band  who played only one performance days before Keith’s untimely death in 1980—Zero added lyrics to its songs. This run served as the band’s showcase of its new material, with words written by the  Grateful Dead  lyricist  Robert Hunter  and sung by  Judge Murphy .

In addition to the new music,  Naught Again  captures a rotating lineup of luminaries including Martin Fierro on tenor saxophone; Pete Sears on organ, piano, and backup vocals; Nicky Hopkins on piano; Vince Welnick on piano and vocals; and John Kahn , Bobby Vega , plus Liam Hanrahan on bass. In conjunction with the album announcement, Zero shared a live cut of “End of the World Blues”. Before the band starts up, Hunter offers Zero a glowing introduction, telling audiences that the band’s music will be sent into space to communicate with intelligent life forms.

“Zero can put the whammy on the crowd,” Hunter said of the band. “I’ve seen a lot of crowds in my life, but they can do something that I’ve never seen before.”

Naught Again  is newly mixed by  Emmy -nominated  Brian Risner  from the original multi-track tapes recorded by the Dead’s  Dan Healy  and  Don Pearson . Recordings from this run were previously released in 1995 as  Chance In A Million , with  Naught Again  displaying another set. The album is out digitally and 2-CD on May 20th, with the 2-LP edition available on October 14th, one night before the band’s 30th-anniversary show at The Fillmore  in San Francisco.

From Zero to Infinity – The Steve Kimock Odyssey

“Well, you’re the guy now.” That’s what Bob Weir told Steve Kimock when Steve became the lead guitarist in Ratdog in 2007, one of the Grateful Dead iterations 12 years after Jerry Garcia’s passing. Steve recalls the conversation. “He said whenever it came up I should I handle this like that. It was difficult, though. There’s such audience expectation for a certain something. In a lot of ways, I kind of went there and occasionally in a classic Garcia soloing kind of thing, I learned the solo, and said, ‘Well, that’s the song. That’s how it goes.’ Then (I thought) ‘What would Geroge Harrison do?’”  

He laughs. “I worked out that stuff on the bottleneck that I like a lot better, but it’s things like that. Talk about wearing my influences on my sleeve.” 

Kimock began a national tour on July 18 with his band Zero that has just released Naught Again , a live album recorded in San Francisco in 1992. The two-CD set contains music that influenced the jam band craze but is far more sophisticated than most of the sounds that typically emote from the jam bands that evolved out of the fundamentals established by the Grateful Dead and evolved into the jam band scene popularized by Phish and moe. 

Born in 1955, 13 years younger than Garcia, he listened to Jerry early on. 

“I was still a young teen probably living at home. Up to that point I had been into The Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Black Sabbath, the more obsessive hard rock stuff along with whatever pop and miscellany I was listening to, but I mean hearing Garcia play, his chromaticism and his sound and the whole thing was just very much more interesting, melodic to me and sophisticated. I love the sound of it. I was immediately taken when I heard it.” 

Jack Casady told Kimock that when he went to San Francisco and became Jefferson Airplane’s bass player, he and others in the emerging West Coast scene didn’t go there because of any particular vibe. “They went there because it was cheap. So, that’s how long ago that was. And I said, ‘Oh, I wish I’d been there. If I’d just been there 10 years earlier.’  

“I said this to Jack Casady on the bus. And he smacked me down so hard. It’s like, ‘Everybody thinks that.’” The influences precede the vibe.  “And then I thought about San Francisco in the ’60s into the ’70s. It’s just like a musical where people that were there, people that were in town playing wherever it was: Miles Davis, Bill Evans, The Grateful Dead, Joe Pass, Ali Akbar Kahn, Ravi Shankar. So many good players, and I can’t think of another time or place that was that fertile, and I just wish I knew where some more of that was. I mean, I had it. I had a good time while I was there doing it in San Francisco and hung out with a lot of good blues players for sure. 

“The other thing about that music was how close to the folk scene I was. Garcia was a banjo player. People were surprised when he said, ‘I think I’ll play the guitar now.’ Nobody could believe he was going to play the guitar. ‘Yeah, he’s a banjo player.’” 

Jerry Garcia has been quoted calling Kimock his “favorite unknown guitar player.” In 2017, Kimock admitted, “There are some early comparisons which I thought were superficial at best between what I was trying to do and what Jerry was doing which pissed me off a little because my least favorite thing about guitar playing in general is how just very derivative it is, and there’s nowhere near the amount of creativity that there could be considering how personal an instrument it is.” 

Time, place and influences are different enough for Zero that the band is much more than another jam band in The Dead and Company’s shadow. I asked him if he looks at his music as art, product or both?  

“I try not to (look at it as product) because I’m not sure what it means. I think I’m just sure that a lot of what I would have had to do to get a position commercially, I didn’t care. I just want to be able to play guitar. That was my attitude. The band I’ve got is not a household word. I have no clue how they (Dead and Company) got into the position they got. I have hung out enough with those guys. They can’t even go out and have breakfast which is kind of a drag, but no, I don’t have a problem in any way with celebrities. I don’t need to be one, and I’m not one. I’m a guy from Pennsylvania.” 

Zero’s music has the circular quality of jam band music coming back around to the fundamental melody and then “jamming” it, but their sound is more sophisticated than most groups falling under that name. “It’s a circle, or it could be a sine wave or multiple sine waves, but yeah, there has to be something oscillating about it. It has to go from one plane to another. I mean the nature of the art is being temporal.” 

Besides headlining major festivals around the country, Zero has played double bills with artists as diverse as Blood Sweat and Tears, Ray Charles, Kenny G., Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Hot Tuna, Dr. John, Nicolette Larson, Eddie Money, The Neville Brothers, Stephen Stills, The String Cheese Incident, Alan Toussaint, Robin Trower, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Weir, and Edgar Winter. 

Zero has been joined on stage and/or in the studio by Jerry Garcia, Donna Godchaux, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Derek Trucks, Noel Redding, Jorma Kaukonen, Sikiru Adepoju, Norton Buffalo, Jack Cassidy, Jessica Fierro, Wavy Gravy, Terry Haggerty, Jerry Joseph, Alex Ligertwood, and Buddy Miles 

Blues is not the biggest strain running through a repertoire that’s a swirling amalgam of rock, jazz and other American roots music, but it’s definitely in the gumbo. “It was nice playing at some level (with Taj Mahal) because I’ve been digging his stuff since I was a teenager. I’ve been listening to Taj Mahal all my life, and there I am sitting with him, and he’s teaching me African stuff. I mentioned to him about being the last man standing for a bunch of that music, and he rattled off 20 names. 

“I know more people who went to Ann Arbor (The Ann Arbor Blues Festival) than went to Woodstock. When we started doing the Zero thing (in the early ’80s), Steve Wolf was the first bass player in the band. He was my roommate. We actually learned a lot of blues and R&B and American music, James Brown and he was like he heard about the Woodstock thing, and he said, ‘Fuck that. I’m going to Ann Arbor.’” 

Steve lives in his hometown Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He’s raising a family here, and his 33-year-old son John Morgan Kimock named after John Cippolina of the psychedelic band Quicksilver Messenger Service plays in Zero. “Man, it’s indescribably impossibly cool and wonderful. I can’t – literally I pinch myself sometimes. He’s so good, and he is such a badass, and no bullshit dude, you know? It’s really, really super cool. It’s the coolest thing as far as I’m concerned. He’s great. He’s a great musician and an inspiration to me every time we take the stage.” 

All that said, the spirit of San Francisco is in Kimock’s soul. “I remember playing a gig at the old Waldorf, and I had to run out and get something, and I came back in, and they’re hanging out and right outside there’s Kurt Vonnegut, and I’m like holy shit. In San Francisco there used to be this beat thing. There used to be this intellectual component. There’d be artists there. Something was going on. It wasn’t just a bunch of guys with balloons trying to get high. It actually was people, you know, other artists doing other art. So, yeah, it didn’t occur to me that it was anything unusual at the time, that there were writers and poets and actors and whatever. People do all that stuff.” 

He feels that spirit every time he plays. “There’s a vibe. There’s a sense involved. There’s the air. There’s time. If I was in San Francisco now, I could know even if my eyes were closed.”

Oct. 15 – The Fillmore – San Francisco

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Traveler Reviews

This tour exceeded our expectations. Nikolai (Nick), our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, thorough, and has a great personality. He didn't take shortcuts and really covered everything that was on the agenda in great detail. We saw beautiful metro stations and learned the history behind them, including many of the murals and designs.

We did the tour with Anna her knowledge and understanding of the History surrounding the metro brought the tour alive. Well done Anna!
