- Meridian Arts Ensemble: The Zappa House Concert
(2026, download / streaming, --, digital music platforms)
The unlikely story of the MAE and FZ can be found here:

And it all amounted to some of the best performances of Frank Zappa's music, spread across various Meridian Arts Ensemble albums.
And that was even before the MAE released "The Zappa House Concert".
Pieces by Scarlatti, King Crimson, by the MAE members, and, of course, a fine set of Frank Zappa compositions.
As the liner notes stated 'Frank’s longtime engineer Greg “Marqueson” Coy set up a single microphone in front of us and recorded the concert. That recording is what you hear on this disc.'
I guess this is one what could call an audience recording, but it sounds really good.
Beautiful.
It's being released through several digital music platforms, and I do hope that there will be a CD release as well.
And it includes Joe Newman's (= Rudy Schwartz Project) arrangement of the Black Page !!
