Moon Unit

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

First formed in 2006 within the catacombs of Birmingham Conservatoire, trumpeter Aaron Diaz led Zappajazz – a  band tackling the music of guitarist and composer Frank Zappa. Now under the moniker Moon Unit, taking its name from one of Zappa’s children, Aaron and the band will be presenting music written especially for the Harmonic festival following influences as far-a-field as Miles and Ornette to Zappa and Beefheart.
