NYC: ED PALERMO BIG BAND WITH SPECIAL GUEST RAY WHITE
IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121 - ) presents Ed Palermo's Big Band on Thursday & Friday, April 11th & 12th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. The 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. Their CDs, 'The Ed Palermo Big Band Plays the Music of Frank Zappa', '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. The Ed Palermo Big Band is: Ed Palermo (alto saxophone); Cliff Lyons (alto saxophone, flute, clarinet); Ben Kono (tenor saxophone, flute); Bill Straub (tenor saxophone, flute); Barbara Cifelli (baritone saxophone, Eb clarinet); Phil Chester (piccolo, flute, soprano & alto saxophones); Ronnie Buttacavoli & John Hines (trumpet); Charlie Gordon, Joe Fiedler (trombone); Matt Ingman (bass trombone); Bob Quaranta (piano); Ted Kooshian (synthesizer); Paul Adamy (electric bass); Ray Marchica (drums); Bruce McDaniel (guitar, vocals); Katie Jacoby (electric violin). There is a $30 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
