Post Description

Het Meridian Arts Ensemble speelt veel Zappanummers.  Op deze CD staan  6 Zappa composities. 
Zappa was zelf onder de indruk van MAE:

"...I would advise anybody who is in the vicinity of this group, the Meridian Arts Ensemble, if you see that they're playing in concert in your town, please go and see them. They're excellent. It's a brass quintet; they have wonderful intonation, excellent rhythm, and a good style to what they play. They play all different kinds of contemporary music, and they have decided to add some of my pieces to their repertoire, too. So, if you get a chance to see them someplace, you should check 'em out. They also have a CD out [GO!] which is very impressive."
