I think these arrangers deserve some praise." - Bill Holman, arranger/composer "...this CD/Charts has the potential to change how people perceive and appreciate jazz. For many students and parents, their exposure to jazz is limited to what their school big band plays. When they hear these charts, they will be drawn more deeply into the art. Jazz musicians sometimes worry about jazz not having the mass appeal that it once did. These arrangements will help today's kids and audiences explore the jazz style and really get into the music. They can relate more to 'Paranoid Android' than they can to 'Summertime,' because it belongs to them." - Neil Delson, Central Bucks High School West (PA) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kenny Wheeler: Collected Works On ECM.

Ed Palermo (Frank Zappa Big Band)
Ed Palermo is not a “business as usual” musician. 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.

The Ed Palermo Big Band Plays The Music of Frank Zappa CD-1 No doubt "Plays the Music of Frank Zappa" will come as a revelation to listeners who considered Frank Zappa nothing more than a rock-and-roll oddity-part maverick, part instigator, part farceur. But even fans familiar with the breadth and depth of his music-and his even more wide-ranging musical interests-are likely to view this album as an ear-opening experience! -Washington Post Featuring: Audio clips soon!

The Ed Palermo Big Band - Eddy Loves Frank CD-3
Alto saxophonist/bandleader Ed Palermo returns with his third CD devoted to the music of Frank Zappa. 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: |

Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays Big Band Charts
"This collaboration of Bob Curnow's Big
Band performance and arrangements of Pat Metheny's music is a serious
musical experience, and one I believe should be heard, studied and
performed by musicians and music educators. Curnow's brilliant, yet
sensible, orchestrations of this music are logical and very playable,
while capturing the distinct signature sound of Metheny's music."
- Neil Slater, University of North Texas; Director, One O'Clock Lab
Band, Professor Emeritus
"I have revered Bob Curnow and admired his accomplishments as a
composer, arranger, producer, bandleader, educator, and publisher for
more than three decades. Bob has stamped his unique artistic imprint
upon the music world and magnified it with his character and
integrity. This guy is one of the personal and professional
heavyweights in the business."

The Jazz Hymnal is the first of its kind in the publishing world and is the perfect addition to the library of church music. It offers the church musician a unique selection of songs, both original compositions and traditional hymnody in harmonically-enhanced jazz/pop arrangement that challenge both the players and the listeners beyond the usual diatonic realm. The look of the book and arrangements is very professional and will be appreciated when read by musicians. There are even suggestions about where to add improvised solos and some innovative ideas about congregational involvement. All of these tunes work well for both congregations and musicians. They have been tested with various congregations and musicians and have won the approval of both. Included are 51 songs written in several different formats that include jazz lead sheets, piano scoring, reduced conductor score, and even in some instances, full arrangements that include horn parts. The original compositions have lyrics and are easily learned by your congregations. In fact, the congregations love singing these songs, since they are fun and hip; they're always theologically sound and spiritually relevant to modern church themes. You will find beautiful new ballads and great new grooves such as hip-hop, reggae, samba and more. And your musicians will dig playing them. Also included with the Jazz Hymnal is a CD sampler of 12 recorded songs found in the hymnal. These songs can be found on "Listen, the Music of Sanctuary Jazz" and "The Call." $30.00
