JONO EL GRANDE - THE CHOKO KING




While my Zappateer friends are in Larvik, listening to various artists performing the music of Frank Zappa, I'm enjoying Jono El Grande's latest album.
Jono El Grande is a Norwegian composer, guitarist and band leader who performed at Zappanale last year. Zappa never is far away in Jono El Grande's compositions.


"The Choko King" is Jono El Grande's fifth album and it's a collection of pieces from 1995 to 2005. It's nice to hear some of the older stuff and some of the earlier versions of certain compositions.


Impressive.
There's also a vinyl edition of this album. The CD has a bonus track, but does omit the liner notes.


Jono El Grande performed at last year's edition of the Yellow Snow Festival. Here's a snippet:
