The Ed Palermo Big Band: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
by Ian Patterson
Frank Zappa once quipped that jazz wasn't dead, it just smelt funny. To many people his own highly personal brand of music also gave off a rather strange whiff at times although, since his death in 1993, his orchestral/avant-garde works have received increasingly serious consideration. At the same time Zappa's rock music has inspired a plethora ...

The Ed Palermo Big Band: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
by Gina Vodegel
If two is company, would three be a crowd? In addition to an already published pair of positive reviews of this homage to Frank Zappa, this third review will hopefully sail off as a good luck charm for Ed Palermo's future enterprises.

The Ed Palermo Big Band: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance
by Jerry D'Souza
Ed Palermo first saw Frank Zappa performing in 1969, and that was to become a life-altering vision which would enlarge his perspective of what music could and should be. The fact that he migrated to jazz and picked up the saxophone while in university a few years later did not change the effect that Zappa wrought. ...
The Ed Palermo Big Band: Plays the Music of Frank Zappa
by Jack Bowers
Frank Zappa’s now batting .500. I’d heard one other big–band tribute to Zappa’s music (by an ensemble that will remain nameless) and was thoroughly unimpressed. But the second time’s a charm — and a charmer as well. What’s the difference? It has to be the fabulous charts by bandleader / alto saxophonist Ed Palermo who’s long ...
