TRANK ZAPPA GRAPPA IN VARESE? “More Light”

“A refreshing change … adventurous, experimental and incredible!! ”

“Each instrument seems to commandeer the whole, yet they fit perfectly with each other in a glorious communion. The horns achieve a transcendent state that rivals the guitar’s authoritative role. Potent strains blare away, scraping paint from the walls with their strident outcries. These brass melodies serve to oust the listener from the influence of gravity, propelling the audience into the air where each chord and sustain buffets everyone with forceful yet elegant caresses. The compositions are difficult to confine to any single genre. Diverse influences crash and collide to form curious structures of dazzling charisma. If sound could generate light, this music would need to be apppreciated wearing sunglasses.” (Matt Howarth, soniccuriosity.com, Mai 2008)
