FiDO plays Echidna, feat. Robert Martin

Echidna’s Arf, live at Piano Dortmund 2.3.2023, FiDO with Robert (Bobby) Martin on keys and sax.

One of our favorite Zappa instrumentals, originally released 1974 on ‘Roxy & Elsewhere’, one of our favorite Zappa albums. Catchy odd-meters, stunning unisono lines, nice harmonies, emotional overall composition despite the too many notes..
