Description
Morgan �gren is a Swedish drummer who plays with the progressive rock band Kaipa.
A native of Ume�, Norrland, Morgan �gren was spotted as an outstanding talent at a young age as he began performing publicly at age seven, and eventually joined forces with Mats �berg in 1981.
They later formed "Zappsteetoot" together in 1984, a band internationally known for performing Frank Zappa's music.
In 1988, at the age of 20, Morgan �gren was, along with Mats �berg, invited by Frank Zappa to do a guest performance at Zappa's Stockholm concert. Impressed by �gren's skills, Zappa invited �gren to the States to partake in several projects, including the 1994 Grammy Award winning CD, Zappa's Universe, with Steve Vai as well as a sold out New York performance of Zappa's classical program at Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series in Avery Fisher Hall. �gren also shares the drummer's seat with Terry Bozzio on Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa's band Z's album Shampoohorn. In 1996, �gren has toured throughout Europe as a member of Glen Hughes band, and later to Japan in 1997. 1996 also saw the formation of Morgan �gren's own record label, Ultimate Audio Entertainment, dedicated to the release of "new" music.
