"With 24 total tracks, there's a lot to sink your teeth into here, but it's all splendid from start to finish, the big band arrangements highly engaging with jaw dropping musical explorations every step of the way ... It's all loads of fun, and performed impeccably, the horns blasting, the reeds sizzling, the guitars & violin nimble, and the vocals spot on. If you've enjoyed The Ed Palermo Big Band before, here they've added some Todd Rundgren to their usual Frank Zappa repertoire and the results are mind blowing. Recommended!".

"There is plenty of variety across these twenty-five tracks. The purely nostalgic feel of "Janet's Big Dance Number" is matched by the scat of "Echidna's Arf (Of You)," as supplied by guests, The Louisiana Swindle Singers who may or may not be a one-off on this project. There is a slight western swing element to "You Are What You Is" thanks to Jacoby's energized fiddling, and the trademark Palermo humor comes through in "Song of the Viking." But there are two primary languages being spoken here-jazz that rocks (as opposed to fusion) and big band swing with all the idiosyncrasies of the leader. More than anything else, The Adventures of Zodd Zundgren is big, irresistible fun".

"This glorious CD is big band music for people for whom the rock and pop music of the 1960s and '70s are standards, just as the dancehall tunes of the '30s and '40s were the standards for a previous generation.The liner notes are comedic (there is a credit for Alternative Executive Producer: Kellyanne Conway in there.) True to the spirit of Zappa, Ed Palermo balances serious music playing with humour and a lightness of touch. The music is very difficult to perform but this band seems to have no trouble at all. Somebody please put the Ed Palermo Big Band on soon, preferably in the UK but anywhere else in Europe would do. They would go down a storm".
