The Ed Palermo Big Band
band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
When people think of “big bands” they think of Duke and Dorsey. With Ed Palermo’s Big Band you’ll hear Zappa, Hendrix, the blues of Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield or one of Ed’s own compositions with lush turns and unexpected twists, garnering wide acclaim.
Gil Evans articulated this wonderfully:“I first heard Ed Palermo’s music in a small club in the SoHo section of Manhattan. He was using the instrumentation of a traditional big band yet his arrangements and songs were anything but that.

Ed Palermo’s music is alive and represents now.”...
