RUNDGREN RADIO AIRS TONIGHT WITH SPECIAL
GUEST ED PALERMO
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/runt/2016/06/22/rundgren-radio-with-special-guest-ed-palermo
Ed Palermo’s Big Band has been together
since 1980 and has been playing and honing the music of Frank Zappa (among other
composers) for fifteen years, mainly in performance at the Bottom Line and
Iridium nightclubs in New York City. They have recently performed gigs
featuring all Todd Rundgren music. When they perform both Todd and Zappa they
call themselves "Zodd Zundgren".
Their CDs, The
Ed Palermo Big Band Plays the Music of Frank Zappa (If you have a copy, it’s now
a collector’s item!!!), ‘Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance’ and the newly
released ‘Eddy Loves Frank’ are concepts of love for the complex music of Frank
Zappa. These crafty interpretations by the Ed Palermo Big Band stand as a
testament to the longevity and originality of Zappa and his music. This music
drives on its spontaneity and unpredictability. Palermo and his band bring this
volatile music to life in a deft and powerful way, making it their own.
Made
up of top New York musicians, the CDs also feature guest soloists: ‘Zappa-alums’
guitarist Mike Keneally and vibraphonist Dave Samuels, saxophonists Bob Mintzer
and Chris Potter and guitarist Mike Stern.
Palermo has recorded two other
critically-acclaimed big band albums and worked with Tito Puente, Tony Bennett,
Mel Torme, Lena Horne and arranged music for James Brown for a concert at the
Hollywood Bowl in L.A. that took place 3 months before he died. His approach was
influenced by Todd Rundgren, Cannonball Adderley, Neil Young, Edgar Winter,
Nelson Riddle, Charles Tolliver, Gene Ammons and Brian Wilson. His devotion to
eclectic roots also includes classical composers such as Prokofiev and
Shostakovich.
