The touring unit itself boasts guitarists Ray White and Mike Keneally, bassist Scott Thunes, multi-instrumentalist Robert Martin, Ed Mann and drummer and Zappa archivist Joe “Vaultmeister” Travers. Hours of never-before-seen Zappa performance footage from the early seventies will form the basis of the “can’t miss” concert spectacle.

Robert ( Bobby) Martin Return to Grace Concert

Return to Grace  - Video Clip  

Tribute to the legendary Elvis Presley. From the first time he came into our lives we knew we were in for something special - a shy droopy-eyed kid with a swivel and swagger that could make women swoon who from the smallest of Tennessee towns to the biggest stage on the planet would change the meaning of music for generations of fans around the world. With us for only a short time, the victim of the excesses of fame, his iconic image nevertheless lives on. A glorious and heartfelt one-of-a-kind tribute to the memory of the man who will remain in our hearts forever, RETURN TO GRACE traces the most amazing and greatest of musical moments of the 20th century - from the early years through The Comeback to the triumphant ALOHA

The additional musicians are: Albert Wing – tenor sax, flute, clarinet
Siglinde Koch-Sembdner – harp

Along with compositions by Zappa and Bach, the concert at St Catherine’s will also feature a composition Robert wrote in 1973 entitled Devil Dance, an orchestral piece inspired by a nightmare, and arranged by Robert specifically for the instrumentation present in this year’s concert.

Brussels Philharmonic International  Art Campus at de Singel in Brussels, Belgium 

Frank Zappa once said: "Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny". In spite of thisRobert (Bobby) Martin Brussels Philharmonic International, he composed a large number of works that could be labeled as jazz. The Liège-based quintet The Wrong Object has gained a strong international reputation with this repertoire. Their record label is New York's well-known Moonjune Records. So, in 'Arf! Arf! Arf!' you can expect highly original versions of Zappa compositions!      

The Brussels Philharmonic has already had some experience with Zappa's work: in 1995 they played 'The Purple Cucumber' at deSingel and in 2000 there was a Zappa concert in De Bijloke. In 'Arf! Arf! Arf!' they will be kicking off with Edgard Varèse's 'Octandre'. This had a huge influence on Zappa's work, with Zappa describing him as 'The Idol of My Youth'. Following on from this is a symphonic selection from '200 Motels', Tony Palmer's 1971 soundtrack album of the film of the same name. In it, Zappa and his group, The Mothers of Invention, play the lead role. It's about the disorientation that a pop group experiences while on tour, when every motel in every town blurs into a whirlpool of images. In it, Zappa also gives his take on the 'orchestra issue': what do you do with a burnt out violinist on the third row of the second violins? Bobby Martin is MC for the evening, and will be guiding you through the wonderful world of 'Zappa Symphonic'.
