Over the past two decades Ed Palermo has earned an avid international following with his brilliantly executed, reverently irreverent arrangements of Frank Zappa’s tempestuous and wildly inventive music. On previous Cuneiform albums like 2006’s Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance, 2009’s Eddy Loves Frank and 2014's Oh No! Not Jazz! , the New Jersey saxophonist, composer and arranger infused the world of Zappalogy with his own brand of incisive wit and bracing improvisation. He doesn’t neglect Zappa on his fourth Cuneiform dispatch, One Child Left Behind, released in January 2016. But instead of offering another full-Frank immersion he turns his big band loose like it’s playing one of its regular gigs at Iridium or The Falcon, a Hudson Valley jazz oasis. Exploring an expansive array of moods and material, the band delivers an audaciously entertaining program that’s full of surprises.
