z3

Z3 performs the music of Frank Zappa.

from archive.org:
"While touring with the Melvin Sparks Band, organist Beau Sasser and drummer Bill Carbone discovered they shared a deep passion for Zappa's music. They tossed around the idea of doing a Zappa organ trio, but the trick was finding the perfect third member for the job. When guitarist/vocalist Tim Palmieri, a diehard Zappa fan, ended up on a string of regular Wednesday night funk gigs with The Beau Sasser Trio in November 2011, the Z3 was born. All three musicians knew each other from years working in the Northeast music scene, their chemistry was obvious, and the transition to Z3 was as smooth as passage of quintuplets in 7/8. Audiences loved the Z3 as well; the initial shows in Northampton, MA were performed to capacity crowds and rave reviews."

January 31, 2013, Ed Mann performed with Z3.

August 3, 2013, the band performed at Zappanale.
