On Saturday, May 17, Italian composer Fabio Frizzi brings his Zombie: Composer’s Cut live score to The Garden Club at Wild Heaven West End—a rare and visceral encounter with the music of one of horror cinema’s most revered partnerships.

Known for his haunting melodies and baroque-tinged arrangements, Frizzi’s work with director Lucio Fulci defined the aesthetic of Italian giallo films throughout the late ’70s and ’80s, most famously in The Beyond, City of the Living Dead, and Zombie.

This performance pairs Fulci’s 1979 film—a grim, gore-soaked masterpiece of undead terror—with a live rendition of Frizzi’s reimagined score. Originally composed with collaborators Franco Bixio and Vince Tempera, Zombie’s music blends prog, synth, and eerie atmospherics into something that feels both grandiose and uncomfortably intimate. With the Composer’s Cut, Frizzi revisits and reworks the material, building a dynamic new soundtrack performed live by his band.

Frizzi’s legacy spans decades of cinema and television, but it’s his work with Fulci that cemented his cult status. The Frizzi 2 Fulci project has taken his soundtracks to stages around the world. Now in its third iteration, the show brings Zombie to life in ways that are both faithful and revelatory.

Presented with a 4K restoration of the film, this immersive experience folds sight and sound into a ritual of dread and beauty. Whether you’re a horror fan or simply looking to be unnerved in the best way possible, Zombie: Composer’s Cut delivers pure, pulpy magic—and the most epic showdown between a shark and a zombie ever committed to film.

Guitar player and composer Jeff Parker is perhaps best known for his contributions to contemporary jazz, experimental music, and post-rock as a long-standing member of the group Tortoise. Parker has also flourished through countless solo outings and collaborations with acts including the Chicago Underground Quartet, Isotope 217, and the New Breed. His latest endeavor, the ETA IVtet, is a Los Angeles-based outfit featuring drummer Jay Bellerose, double bassist Anna Butterss, and alto saxophonist Josh Johnson.

In November, Parker and the ETA IVtet unveiled their second album, The Way Out of Easy, on International Anthem Recording Company. The record showcases Parker’s signature blend of adventurous improvisation, harmonic sophistication, and a deep groove, seamlessly bridging tradition and experimentation.

The group takes its name from the L.A. bar where they held a weekly residency from 2016 until it closed in December 2024.

With The Way Out of Easy, Parker and Co. reaffirm their place as formidable players at the forefront of contemporary music, pushing boundaries while remaining rooted in timeless expression via four improvised pieces bearing titles such as “Freakadelic,” “Late Autumn,” the album’s title track, and “Chrome Dome.” Press play below.

Jeff Parker’s ETA IVtet plays the Garden Club at Wild Heaven West End on Tuesday, April 1. $25 (adv). $30 (day of). Doors open at 7 p.m. Music starts at 8 p.m.
