The Ed Palermo Big Band
About This Event
Saxophonist-arranger Ed Palermo brings his big band—active since the late 1970s—to Iridium, presenting charts that reframe rock and jazz repertory for large-ensemble forces. Closely associated with reinterpretations of Frank Zappa and drawing on writers from the Beatles to Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter, Palermo's ensembles emphasize orchestral detail and rhythmic precision over spectacle.
