ORCHESTRE FRANCK TORTILLER - JANIS THE PEARL

• orchestre franck tortiller: janis the pearl
      (2012, cd, france, mco label)

Pretty impressed by Franck Tortiller's recent Zappa tribute album, I was eager to check out some of his previous releases. Especially the Orchestre material.
"Janis The Pearl" was the first release that was credited to the "Orchestre Franck Tortiller". However, looking at "Collectiv" and "Sing Yer Zappa", it shows a completely different line-up. As if Franck re-started from scratch with "Collectiv" (an album that I really enjoyed).

This Janis Joplin tribute is nice to listen to, but it's a bit too calm, too quiet. For my taste, it lacks dynamics and energy.
