Career



Mann formed a band with Tommy Mars in mid 1973. By the end of that year he was studying with John Bergamo at CalArts . In 1977 Frank Zappa asked Bergamo to do some overdubbing on the Zappa In New York album and Bergamo in turn recommended Mann.

A few months later Ruth Underwood told Mann that Zappa was looking for a second keyboard instrument|keyboard player. When Ed called to recommend Tommy ("at midnite, the only time when you could reach Frank by phone"), Frank invited him to "come up to the house". Mann went to the house, where Terry Bozzio , Patrick O'Hearn , and Adrian Belew were jamming with Zappa. By 2:00am Ed was "in the band". Ed Mann later commented: "It took a few days for that all to sink in."

Mann can be heard playing mallet and gongs on J21 's Yellow Mind:Blue Mind album.

Mann is a member of The Band From Utopia. In 2008, Ed Mann toured with Project Object and sat in with Agent Moosehead at the New York Harvest Festival and Freedom Rally.
