Ed Mann (vibrafoon, percussie & electronica)
Frank van der Kooij (tenor-en sopraansax)
Michel Delville (gitaar, electronica & zang)
Guy Segers (basgitaar)
Ivo Sans (drums)

He teaches percussion at CalArts. I had a friend who went there and I think Ed was one of his advisors.

Ed Mann has at least two solo releases (early 90s) "Get Up" and "Perfect World".
"Get Up" is totally instrumental. "This is Tomorrow" is a composition based on a 19-bar improvised melody, or something like that. The mallet phrase was in Modern Drummer a ways back. "Get Up" and "The Final Tone" are other good tracks. The latter is a long, intense, slow tune that just explodes with gongs, chimes, cymbals and horns at the end. Very cool.
"Perfect World" adds vocals, with varying degrees of success. The instrumentals are very good, and Ed's solo on "Working for Change" is incredible. That's probably my favorite of the vocal tracks, although "Walking in Balance" is excellent as well.
Bruce Fowler, Walt Fowler, and Chad Wackerman play on Ed Mann's Perfect World.

Brian Rost (brost@synnet.com) said:
Ed was a member of the Mighty Flyers, backup band for blues harmonica wizard Rod Piazza. He was in the band pretty early on, late 70s/early 80s maybe, he is on the Piazza album "From the Start To The Finish".

From: Patrick
Ed speaks his mind! The one and only Ed Mann (edmann@earthlink.net) was nice enough to answer a few questions, including but not limited to:

Patrick : What was your experience prior to hooking up with Zappa? Can you tell us about your musical history, education, and so on prior to that.

Ed Mann: I was a drummer and piano dabbler since childhood - Ken Aronoff and I went to HS together and inspired each other to excel creatively. Then I went to the U of Hartford/ Hartt College of Music (1973) where I met Tommy Mars (Mariano) - we formed an band called "World Consort" which played experimental jazz etc - we played a lot of gigs in New England.
In late 1973 I moved to SoCal to attend CalArts and study with John Bergamo - did the whole World Music, avant-garde thing which led to the formation of the Repercussion Unit.

Ed Mann: The Moderns was the name of a movie the Mark Isham scored - he choose to use a band - which he organized for the project.

Patrick : How did you get the job with Zappa? It would seem like you were hired to do percussion overdubs on Zappa In New York. How did that arrangement first come about?

Ed Mann: In 1977, FZ asked John Bergamo to do some overdubbing on the NY album - John in turn recommended me (I guess that Frank asked if there was another player that he might recommend) - we got to play with Ruth on those sessions, which was great.

Patrick : How much of those overdubs were you, and how much were John Bergamo?

Patrick : How did it come about that you became a full-fledged band member? When was it?

Ed Mann: Several months later (June 1977) Ruth told me that Frank was looking for a 2nd keyboard player - I called to recommend Tommy - and right then and there Frank invited me to "come up to the house" (it was midnite - the only time when you could reach Frank by phone). I went over - Terry and Patrick and Adrian were there jamming with Frank - and by 2:00 am I was "in the band" - it took a few days for that all to sink in.

Patrick : To what extent were you a Zappa fan before you joined? Some folks, like Duke I think, knew of him only as the guy sitting on a toilet in a poster. While others, like Keneally, knew most of the catalog before ever auditioning.

Ed Mann: I liked Frank's music - knew some records but not others - appreciated him as a composer and iconoclast - never learned to play his music until joining his band.

Patrick : Was that you playing the majority of the Syn-drums on Sheik Yerbouti?

Ed Mann: ALL the syndrums - even at the time I thought it was too much - but FZ loved them - one night I was just hanging around the studio and Frank asked me to put "a few syndrums noises on "Flakes" - 4 hours later there were many syndrums noises on most of the tunes - far more than were in the live performances, but it was fun, and I figured "hey- if the composer likes it..."

Ed Mann: Fun. The actual story line came together in a spontaneous way as a result of contributions by Frank and various band members in humorous discourse during the recordings. Of course it was Frank who concieved of most, and wove it all into a story - but I do remember bringing up the idea of a monitoring presence - which FZ found particularly funny at the time and i believe developed into the Central Scrutinizer. Frank was fun to work with - he inspired band members to be creative, but thru his lens.

Patrick : Can you identify the following musicians from those albums?
    1. Jeff- tenor sax
    2. Marginal Chagrin- baritone sax
    3. Stumuk- bass sax

Ed Mann: 1. friend of Ike's from St. Louis
2. probably a studio player - maybe Marty Krystal?
3. A carpenter who worked for Frank. Could have also been a brother in law (same person)

Patrick : Why no '84 tour? You did LSO in '83, and I assume you did studio work in 84, maybe 85, why exactly was the lapse?

Ed Mann: No '84 tour - no room on stage! FZ hires (too?) many vocalists in '84. I was also touring with a different band (Shadowfax) at that time and music and really into it - missed FZ but also needed to do something different - but, would have been there in a minute if FZ had requested my presence.

Patrick : 1988.. it's a touchy subject with everyone involved, and if you want to leave it alone I'll understand entirely. However I think very few people have heard your side of it, so if you wanted to speak your mind on how it ended, here's as good a forum as any.

Ed Mann: There is no simple explaination for 1988. Frank made some decisions at that time which I think reflected his exhaustion and general poor health, and which yielded very unfortunate but predicatable results. There was a lot of negativity and a lot of hard feelings. But ironically (at the core) there was a lot of love for Frank and his music, which only intensified the emotional tone of the experience.
   You could tell Frank was tired and not feeling well. He never ever would have set up and permitted a situation like that to exist back in the 70s or early 80s. Wherever Frank was at, his band would be at. When Frank was up and feeling good, it was contagious. When Frank was not well, the band was not well.
    I think for some of the new guys it was hard to understand how there could be this intense conflict within the band - but for those who had a longer history it was hard to understand how Frank could let something like that go on and on. It hurt, because Frank knew that everyone was suffering and he was the only one who had the power to correct the situation, but he didn't.
    For all of the 1988 band members, I think the goal became just trying to survive each day. It was devastating. I think everyone involved would do it differently if they had it to do all over again.
    I do not bear anyone involved in 1988 any ill will. It was just a very unfortunate confluence of events.
    I do not intend any disrespect toward Frank in this description. He was consumed by an illness, it was unfortunate and very sad, and I miss him every day.

Patrick : You must have some outstanding tour stories. Can you throw us fans a bone and give us an example of "life on ze road"?

Ed Mann: There was the time the Tommy and I got picked up in the hotel lobby by 2 attractive women in their 30's who got us up into their suite and were pouring drinks with Tommy Jazz-dancing on the bed in a toga and his welding goggles when their convention-attending husbands walked in... no, not that one. How about the time after a very late night when Tommy and I were having breakfast in a Bloomington, Indiana truck stop and Tommy took a particular dislike to our waitress, who happened to be a long-time favorite friend of all the regular patrons, all of whom began to take noted exception to Tommy's sarcastic barrage - no, I guess not that one either. How about in London that time when - no definitely not that one. I guess not, no stories to tell at this time. :(

Patrick : I have so many questions, this could get away from me, so I'll leave them at that for now. I'd also like to ask about what you've been up since Zappa.

Ed Mann: Produced and created a CD "Global Warming" (all percussion) in 1991 - went on the Road and recorded with Rickie Lee Jones and Kenny Loggins (1992-94) Made another CD - "Have No Fear" - for CMP in 1996 which has never been released - too bad because it is worlds better than GU or PW - created the Gong CD - since 1997 I have been composing electronic and doing sound design - mostly for E-mu - starting to compose now for other clients - hope to do some film work or other - I have a studio here at our house.

From: John Henley (jhenley@mail.utexas.edu)
Ed: I saw you with Frank several times and each time you seemed to be doing a lot of "winging it." Was that impression correct, and do you feel that Frank gave you more room to improvise on your accompaniments than he gave, say, to Ruth? What was the proportion of "strict charts" to "improv" in the parts that Frank gave you?
Thanks,
-- John

From: ed mann (edmann@earthlink.net)
Hi John.
My approach to playing in Franks band was to first learn the music as written, and then use my percussionist sensibibities to orchestrate the Percussion parts. I always felt as tho I had the best job in the band - because of having so many instruments to choose from.
So - it was kind of like "improvised orchstration" based on the movement of the music and Frank's stylistic trendencies as a composer - after a while I learned what Frank liked and didn't like, so I would take that into acount in creating the percussion parts.
Once a general part was established, I always felt as though I had from 10% to 30% room to change the part for a given performance. Frank and I never talked about it - he would occasionally give a "thumbs up" occassionally a "thumbs down" but usually say nothing. I never asked because I enjoyed working that way - and I didn't want to lose that good thing.
I developed this way of realizing Frank's music because I am an improviser- I think that Frank liked that element as long as there was some musical consistancy to the part.
I think that Frank would let each musician function in the way that best suited them. Ruth is a brilliant conservatory trained musician.

From: Greg Henry (greg@greghenry.com)
I would like to have heard more about his audition but obviously Frank liked him and kept him on for quite a while so......

From: ed mann (edmann@earthlink.net)
We basically jammed - Frank played some licks on the guitar and asked me to play them back on the marimba - Frank put music to MONTANA up in front of the marimba and asked me to read it - the room was kind of dark with red lites on so I didn't do a very good job but I guess he thought it was OK - we talked for 10 minutes and then Frank said - OK - you want to join the band? After I gathered myself up off the floor and managed to get some air into my lungs I gasped - "SURE!"

From: Greg Henry (greg@greghenry.com)
On another note and for what ever it's worth to anyone, I am happy to announce formally on this here group that I am over the '88 tour. I understand all I need to understand about it. It no longer has any relevence to my love of Frank Zappa's music. It's over, it's done and I moved on.

From: ed mann (edmann@earthlink.net)
Right on - and, its important to note that there was a lot of GOOD stuff that happened on the 88 tour - all of those vocal samples became the humorous outlet for everyones frustrations - we all laughed together many times. That was good.

Subject: Repercussion Unit Plays ZAPPA

Greetings Everyone -

Some news w/re to yet another FZ cover band - although this one is a little different.

I just returned from Germany with my old friends Repercussion Unit where we played an unusual set of Zappa music at the Frankfurt Jazz Festival- all percussion, and not particularly loud, but with a big groove played mostly on hand drums and some nice melodic and harmonic elements from the mallets. Different than of course Frank would have done it - but we worked hard to make the performance up to standards that Frank would have been happy with. Anyway - this is a new branch of activity for this 30-year old band, and it came off so well that we have decided to continue to bring Frank's music to venues and situations that may desire an alternative approach to keeping the music of FZ alive with musical integrity and respect for the composer and his family. Any interested parties can contact me directly: edmann@paiste.com

the one thing that occurs to me at this time - based on my own perceptions and noticing those around me - is that even though we all think we understand Frank and his music - I am starting to think that now we are just beginning to get it. FZ was so far ahead of his time that I think it will literally take the world a good century from the time of his professional activities to REALLY just begin to get it. It goes way deeper the stuff you see on the surface - and I believe that those concrete things (notes on paper and words in verse ) are serve as a gateway to a bigger picture that transcends language and the execution of musical passages. Anyway the guy was a genius - and the message is good, and having had the opportunity to hear other non-traditional renditions of his work (there was a sax 4tet that played a killer FZ set) I think we are entering a new phase of vitality for Frank and his great body of work, in both duplicate and alternative instrumental situations.

The fabulous Idiot Bastard Son Of T'Mershi Duween (UK Frank Zappa News Site) presents a very fine interview that Andrew had with Ed Mann.
Mr.Ed Mann, as you should know, will be featured at this year's Zappanale.

And, of course, there's lots and lots more to read at the Idiot Bastard's site. Be sure to check it out !!

Noted percussionist Ed Mann will bring Frank Zappa's revolutionary "Black Page" piece to the Berkshire Music School at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

The performance, organized by the BMS and Fran Curley, is a fundraiser for the school's percussion department.
Deconstructed jazz standards and free forum improvisations complete the event.
Mann performed and recorded as percussionist, synthesist, electronic sound designer, vocalist and programmer for more than a decade in Zappa's world of innovation. Mann also worked with Rickie Lee Jones and Kenny Loggins.

J21 conducted a very interesting interview with Ed Mann about Ed's new CD, some Zappa stuff and other interesting things.
