TRACKLIST FOR THE UPCOMING ED PALERMO BIG BAND CD


 

FABI SPAMPINATO

Fabio Spampinato has a new album out. He recorded some Zappa tunes in the past which is reason enough to check out his latest release: "MY STORY WITH HIROMI".

Un nuevo álbum. Conceptual. 8 temas cantados fragmentos en japonés, ingles y castellano. Estilo jazz rock japones 80's era.


NEW ZAPPA TITLES ON THE OLDAYS RECORD LABEL

The Oldays record label is keeping a nice tempo in releasing the old Zappa / Mothers albums.

Here's what the latest three look like:


SQUAREPUSHER - KAMMERKONZERT

My pal Harald recently introduced me to Squarepusher's "Kammerkonzert" album and I'm completely blown away.

This is great stuff.
Funky jazzy stuff that also reminds of some  to Frank Zappa's synclavier output.

Check it out !!
