SINISTER SISTER PLAYS THE MUSIC OF FRANK ZAPPA


Sinister Sister is made up of five excellent rock / jazz musicians.
Early March, the quintet did concerts in Brussels, Eeklo, Brugge and Sint Niklaas. I was told that they already have some concerts scheduled for later this year as well.

I caught them in Brussels and got blown away. An excellent choice of compositions. Fine and playful arrangements. And great playing.
Besides the exceptional technical level, each of the musicians has a very personal and typical style, adding extra colors and moods to the improvisations.
To me, this is the way that Zappa's music has to be performed.

It should come as no surprise to you that I saw them again in Eeklo and in Sint Niklaas.

Sinister Sister.
Remember the name.
