FEATURING:
Tim Palmieri, guitar
Beau Sasser, organ
Bill Carbone, drums
While on tour playing Funk and Boogaloo with the Melvin Sparks Band, organist Beau Sasser and drummer Bill Carbone discovered they shared a deep passion for the music of Frank Zappa. They daydreamed about performing an entire show of Zappa music in the organ trio format and went in search of the musician to complete their triumvirate. Enter Tim Palmieri, guitarist and vocalist for Kung Fu and The Breakfast, diehard lifetime Zappa fan and, clearly, the perfect man for the job.
After a marathon rehearsal, the three dubbed themselves The Z Three and debuted two sets of FZ at Bishop’s Lounge in Northampton, MA in November 2011. All three musicians knew each other from years working in the Northeast music scene and their chemistry was palpable; the transition from three friends to The Z Three was as smooth as passage of quintuplets in 7/8.
