The Ed Palermo Big Band – Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance (CD, Album, Cuneiform Records Rune 225)

Why This CD Matters
The Ed Palermo Big Band reworks Frank Zappa compositions for a large jazz ensemble. Palermo’s arrangements bring horns and reeds to pieces including “RDNZL,” “Gumbo Variations,” and “Sleep Dirt.” The eight-track set moves between intricate instrumental writing and the suite-like “Mom And Dad / Oh No.”

Collector Note
This is the US 2006 Cuneiform Records CD, catalog number Rune 225, with eight Frank Zappa compositions arranged by Ed Palermo. It was recorded at Showplace Recording in Dover, New Jersey, with recording and mixing completed between Thanksgiving and New Year’s 2005. John Tabacco mastered the release.
