Trio RCM: « L’orgue de Pink Floyd à Zappa »

Frank Zappa’s body of work is considerable, and well known, but you won’t find much pipe organ therein, except on the album Uncle Meat, when Don Preston plays “Louie Louie”’s introductory notes on the “Mighty & Majestic Albert Hall Pipe Organ” (dixit FZ). So it’s a nice surprise to discover the Trio RCM, hailing from France, in which percussionist Henri-Charles Caget and guitarist Frédéric Maurin support the work of organist Yves Rechsteiner. The latter is responsible for the basic arrangements of this program, which includes almost a dozen pieces by Zappa, but also interpretations of works by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Pat Metheny. This time, the organ in question is the MSO’s mighty-in-its-own-right Grand Orgue Pierre-Béïque. The earth is gonna shake!
