D.O.G.E.Keyboard Magazine June 2007 Lead Review 5/24/2007 - It takes both profound virtuosity and ample good taste to get away with jazz treatments of pop-chart staples. The inimitable Ms. Z - who's both sat at a piano for Wayne Shorter and stood behind a synth rack for Peter Gabriel - does a lot more than get away with it. She brilliantly excavates the harmonic complexity lurking in songs from Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" to "King of Pain" by The Police. Drummer Bobbie Rae's deft mixology of straight-ahead jazz, funk, and hip-hop is always just perfect, and fellow Gabriel veteran Tony Levin and up-and-coming bass prodigy Maeve Royce take turns laying the bass foundation for Rachel's burning piano solos, not to mention her sultry crooning on the original "Moon and Sun." If you're a jazz aficionado, this CD will give you newfound respect for rock songwriting. If you're not, it may well turn you into one. Essential listening.Steve Fortner

Pittsburgh Report Feat.Sean Jones w/D.O.G.E. 5/23/2007 - Short Takes: Rachel Z trio takes a versatile approach Tuesday, May 22, 2007 Pianist Rachel Z has emerged from the shadows of Peter Gabriel to form one of the most innovative trios to come along in some time. Performing at Gullifty's Restaurant Saturday night, Z demonstrated how any song can be used as a launching pad for jazz dynamics. Z has long been adept at bridging genres, and her group, Dept. of Good and Evil, continued that path Saturday night. She paid homage to Sting on "King of Pain" and invited trumpeter Sean Jones to the stage to assist with Wayne Shorter's "ESP." Jones is a dynamo and worth the price of admission whenever he's playing. The group then launched into Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" and performed an unidentified tune from Depeche Mode. But the trio made its greatest impact on "Angry Chair," a song by Alice in Chains. How many jazz trios have that kind of repertory? -- Nate Guidry, Post-Gazette jazz critic

Ken Micalef's Pick of the Week Philadelphia! 5/23/2007 - Rachel Z's weird persona as a sex kitten/fusion keyboard whiz has sometimes overshadowed her brilliance on the acoustic piano, but that's fully corrected on her new album Dept. of Good and Evil. Inspired improvisations fire the album, such as the flurries in "King of Pain," the chordal melody of "E.S.P." and the delicate touches of "Lakme." Dept. is certainly accessible, from Z's generous piano lines to the buoyant drumming of Bobbie Rae. Some may accuse Rachel Z of pop-star ambitions, but Dept. of Good and Evil should silence the critics. (Ken Micallef)
