Founded by bassist Will Zimmer, Ragtime embodies the essence of jazz. Will's story started on the trombone at the age of eight. Will had reached the apex of his craft when an injury forced him to step away from the trombone. Determined to connect with audiences, Will pick up the bass and cut his teeth on the NYC jam session circuit. Now, Will plays along the East Coast with various ensembles, including his group, Trio-Z.
