Ed Palermo
Ed Palermo's Big Band has been together since 1980 and
has been playing and honing the music of Frank Zappa
for close to five years, mainly in performance at the
Bottom Line in New York City.
Palermo
has recorded three critically-acclaimed big band albums
and worked with Tito Puente for three years, Tony Bennett,
Mel Torme, Lena Horne and many other musical greats.
His approach was influenced by Todd Rundgren, Cannonball
Adderley, Neil Young, Edgar Winter, Nelson Riddle, Charles
Tolliver, Gene Ammons and "heavy-duty" Brian Wilson.
His devotion to eclectic roots also includes classical
composers such as Prokofiev and Shostakovich.
One
of the greatest writers you've maybe never heard of,
Ed has written over 300 charts for big band. Visit
Ed's site or Email

Before
Max is a challenging piece tells a story from beginning
to end. Ed Palermo's inventive arranging style shines
on this chart. You'll need flute and clarinet doubles
in the saxophones to perform this chart as it is meant
to be.
Be sure to have
your band listen to the recording to get every nuance
that Ed intended. Soloists are Ed himself and the
great Randy Brecker. The manuscripts in PDF format
are coming soon! Until then, take a listen and be
sure to check out Ed's
big band
