Since 1993, the year Frank Zappa died, the four(!) funny THREE have been skillfully meandering between jazz, fusion, progressive and blues rock. Inevitably, this had to end with Zappa's works. In 2009 they paid tribute to him with "DVR Plays Uncle Frank". Werner Neumann, the exceptional guitarist and head of the band, has since been supported by Pit Hupperten from Opladen on vocals and rhythm guitar. In the new line-up the current disc "Francesco" was created, a kind of hermaphrodite. In addition to seven epic original compositions, all in the spirit of the bearded man, there are of course a whole latte of "real" Zappa songs. But it would not be fair to dismiss the band as a disdainful cover band. The THREE rather smash the already fragile basic framework of Zappa songs and tinker with them with breathtaking creativity on new arrangements, which they put their own stamp on with devoted passion and thieving joy.
