After all, when most people think of “big bands” they think of Duke and Dorsey. But go to see Ed Palermo’s Big Band and you might hear Zappa, Hendrix, the blues of Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield or one of Ed’s own compositions, loaded with lush turns and unexpected twists. Gil Evans wonderfully articulated Palermo’s unusual approach to traditional instrumentation: “I first heard Ed Palermo’s music in a small club in the SoHo section of Manhattan. He was using the instrumentation of a traditional big band yet his arrangements and songs were anything but that. When I thought the music was going a certain direction, it would suddenly turn a corner. Ed has the ability to keep that important balance between cohesiveness and unpredictability. Ed Palermo’s music is alive and represents now.” - Gil Evans Ed’s interpretation of the music of iconoclastic composer Frank Zappa has brought him wide recognition.

His first CD of this material, “The Ed Palermo Big Band Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa” garnered rave reviews. Downbeat magazine gave the CD a 4-star review. Palermo’s second CD of Zappa material, entitled “Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance”, has been received with equal enthusiasm from publications all over the world, including another rave from Downbeat. Palermo, quite simply, has distilled Zappa to perfection.

Not all of Zappa's experiments worked, but none of Palermo's have failed. Luckily, Zappa left a Motherlode for him to mine. Hearing the band's searing horn sections rock and swing through an intricate scoring of Peaches en Regalia, (Zappa's own 'A Train' and father to the Simpsons theme), is transcendental. The baritone sax hits your belly's secret b-spot, giving off the same sense of infinite pleasure as the horn runs in Steely Dan's 'My Old School.'

It's Becker and Fagen-level perfection. Before forming his own band, Ed toured and recorded with many different artists including Aretha Franklin, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Celia Cruz, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Lou Rawls, Melba Moore, Debbie Gibson, The Spinners and countless others. He has written and arranged for the Tonight Show, Maurice Hines and Eddy Fischer. He also arranged the music for a recent James Brown concert at the Hollywood Bowl.

Palermo has now become the jazz face of Zappa, having prepared close to 200 transcripts that leaven the music with jazz harmony, while leaving the inherent flavor and quirkiness intact. The charts lend themselves to lush orchestration as much as they leave room for individual musicians to make distinctive statements. Add Palermo's humor to the dynamic, and it's yet another delicious dollop of enjoyable music. The greatly respected writer Richie Unterberger makes a good point in the ‘All Music’ guide when he refers to Palermo giving Zappa’s music ‘more of a jazzy big band swing’ and providing en entry point for listeners who ‘might be put off by the more jagged ugliness that Zappa was often wont to insert into his own renditions’ For more information on Ed Palermo's music/charts visit: Audio clips soon!

They have been tested with various congregations and musicians and have won the approval of both.
