This past Tuesday Frank Zappa tribute act The Z3 kicked off a weekly October residency at Pacific Standard Tavern in New Haven, Connecticut. The group was joined by Natalie Cressman of the Trey Anastasio Band for a set of Zappa classics and rarities on both trombone and vocals.

Cressman’s time on stage included renditions of “Zomby Woof,” Zappa’s arrangement of “I Am The Walrus” and “Cletus Awreetus-Awritus.” Multi-cam video of the entire performance can be viewed below thanks to Raymond Morelli:
