With their aesthetics still rooted in an array of storied inspirational models, Belgian prog jazz heavyweights The Wrong Object recently released two new albums, the first a tribute to Zappa ("Zappa Jawaka"), the second a chamber-rock-jazz sequence of original compositions entitled "Into the Herd" and venturing further into hybrid musical territories - pushing the boundaries of progressive jazz, rock and contemporary music. After 23 years of an existence marked by extensive touring, recording and numerous collaborations with international jazz and rock luminaries (Elton Dean; Harry Beckett; Annie Whitehead; Alex Maguire; the Brussels Philharmonic; Stanley Jason Zappa; Ed Mann), The Wrong Object is always ready to embark on exciting new sonic destinations. Their concert at Zappanale 2024 will coincide with the 20th anniversary of their first appearance at the festival with Ed Mann!
"Belgian group The Wrong Object are adept at mixing Canterbury styled prog rock with Zappa-esque jazz fusion and Frippertronics to produce a beat that has elements of the past and the future thundering through it. [Their music] cleverly fuses all of these various musical elements together, expertly twisting various world music styles into the mix to produce a varied and unpredictable set of original material." - Jazzwise
