- The Zappa Early Renaissance Orchestra: Six Of One
(2023, cd, UK, cordelia records)
(2023, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
I have already mentioned the latest album by The Zappa Early Renaissance Orchestra a couple of times on this blog.
Not only is this an album that cannot get enough attention, I also brought home a physical copy from Zappanale, which is another good reason to revisit it.
Album number six for Z.E.R.O. and another amazing tribute to the music of Frank Zappa.
The beautiful thing about Z.E.R.O. is that it's not band. Common denominator Kevin Crosby, the musical mastermind behind Z.E.R.O., assembles different musicians for almost every piece that gets recorded. And all (or most) of these are musicians that are quite familiar with the music of FZ.
All tracks are produced and arranged by Kevin, and the different musicians all add their typical sound of flavor.

Great concept.
