The Ed Palermo Big Band: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance

Read "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance" reviewed 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

Read "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance" reviewed 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. Not that he really needs it, given the fact that NPR featured Palermo and ...

The Ed Palermo Big Band: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance

Read "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance" reviewed 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

Read "Plays the Music of Frank Zappa" reviewed 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 ...

Ed Palermo: Plays the Music of Frank Zappa

Read "Plays the Music of Frank Zappa" reviewed by Robert Middleton


Yes! Why not? Of course! Frank Zappa's music in a big band setting. Wonderful. From the witty, irreverent packaging to the masterful playing, note-true arrangements and the spot-on selection of Frank's tunes, this is an album to celebrate. What album from Zappa came out the same year as Bitches Brew (by Miles) and also broke new ...
