History

edit

The Wrong Object started in 2002 as a Frank Zappa tribute band,[1][3] and has played in venues such as Zappanale (2004, 2008 and 2024),[4][5][6] the Gaume Jazz Festival, the Jazz à Liège Festival, and the European Jazz Festival in Athens.[7] Some were augmented by guest performances by Elton Dean, Harry Beckett, Annie Whitehead, Jaap Blonk, and Zappa's percussionist Ed Mann.[4]

"Elton Dean & The Wrong Object" and "The Wrong Object featuring Annie Whitehead and Harry Beckett", were documented by album releases from Voiceprint (Platform One) and Moonjune Records (The Unbelievable Truth, a collaboration with Elton Dean) in the spring of 2007. The Unbelievable Truth was included in Arnaldo de Souteiro's,[8] Top Ten Jazz CDs of the Year 2007 (category: special projects) in the Brazilian newspaper Tribuna da Impresa.[9]

The band is by Leonardo Pavkovic at Moonjune Records and Management[10] in New York. In 2008, they released Stories from the Shed, their first studio album in more than five years. The album received positive reviews from Jazzwise,[11][12] Guitar Player,[13] Signal to Noise,[14] Allmusic,[15] Musica Jazz (July 2008), Jazz Review,[16] and Exposé.[17][18] Their music has also been broadcast by radio stations all around the world;[19] in November 2007, the Dutch National Radio devoted a one-hour program to the band's discography and their collaborations with Elton Dean, Annie Whitehead, Harry Beckett and Alex Maguire VPRO.[20]
