The Mothers Of Invention:
FZ-guitar, vocals
Tom Fowler-bass
Bruce Fowler-trombone
Jean-Luc Ponty-violin
Ian Underwood-woodwinds, synthesizer
George Duke-keyboards
Ruth Underwood-percussion
Ralph Humphrey-drums
I loved the mothers and Zappa live back in the early 70's that was the good vibes.
I've noticed Frank's Marimba player Ruth Underwood never really gets the recognition she deserves! She's got mad skills and plays almost all of the solos with the other instruments!!! She's awesome!
Ruth is probably my favorite Zappa band musician. To me, she is the centerpiece of the sound of this whole era in their history.
She doesn't seem to be an improviser. Or perhaps she thinks she can't take a solo after Jean-Luc Ponty !
I was in the same situation when I played mallet keyboards, I could play anything written (not like Ruth of course), but I was not on the level with pros jazzmen. Improvising on marimba is no piece of cake, you really have to know where you are going. That's why the kids must improvise. A fellow teacher told me once : people can learn to read music tardily, but if you don't teach improvisation when they are young, it's too late when they are grown up.
Ruth was a top notch orchestral musician drafted by Frank. For me, it's her xylophone work that defined the Mothers/Frank's best sound. And that's sayin' a lot.

If you listen closely to that song, I’m fairly certain you grow new brain cells.
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah ! !
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH I'm SOOOOO bright and clever NOW !!! :) :)
this song is like 4th dimension.....
At least have circuits rewired
yes and my IQ is 10 points higher than former...(now:12)
You're right! Just in time, too, cause I only had 2 brain cells left & THEY were arguing.
Jean Luc Ponty tearing it up! Great jam.
I had a couple of albums by Jean Luc back in the 80"s
Imaginary Voyage, Cosmic Messenger! ( late '70's) were my favorites
Oh, Wow !! For Real ! I wondered what sounded familiar to me. I figured that it must have been an inspiration to another musician that I couldn't put my finger on but it's just him in his early years. Just phenomenal man !!
as ALL-WAYS
Zappa was an arrogant asshole
"A composer is a guy who goes around imposing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the help of unsuspecting musicians". FZ
Thanks for quoting me! :)
The air molecules are fully ready to engage and respond, like sticky colas looking for pollen.
Frank Zappa one of the best 🎸🕑🎼🎶
Je suppose que ça veut dire qu'un compositeur est quelqu'un qui impose son idée à des choses inattendues, souvent grâce à des musiciens imprévisibles... ? J'aime bien l'idée... Vive la liberté !
He called music air sculptures
Jean-Luc Ponty and George Duke enjoyed playing with each other. They made an album back in 1969. Zappa knew if he got them two together it would be curtains. But his whole band was awesome. George Duke said it best: “Man...we could play anything” and they did!! This song here proved it!!
1972-74 was great years of jazz fusion. Santana, Herbie Hancock, Return To Forever, Weather Report....just to name a few.
Back in the day I did not pay much attention to Frank's music.
As I have gotten older, my appreciation has grown.
We were lucky to have had Frank Zappa.
Tom Fowler doesn't get enough respect.
There's so much talent on that stage it's ridiculous. Imagine the auditions.
Watch Steve Vai’s video when he talk about auditioning for Zappa.
Nathan Goss or Bozio’s.
And Wackerman’s story of his audition. Haunting! Haha. Jesus it would raise your game. FZ must be a savant without the personality disorder.
Rotti-X I’m not sure he wasn’t without some kind of personality disorder to be quite honest. 🤣😂🤣
I saw them in Gothenburg. 13 years old. Standing on a bench looking over the fence. Did not have a clue who it was then. Saw Zappa 4 times after that. ❤❤❤❤❤
Frank is jazz, Frank is music, Frank was a genius.
agreet
Yes. I'll always be wondering what he would be doing now

Frank is the best!
Frank isn't dead. He just smells funny......
Ralph Humphrey was wonderful with the mothers. All of Franks drummers were superb.
Of course he FZ recruiting
They were, but I think Ralph was my favorite.
Tom Fowler… and all these players… they all play great and look great. If I ever come back I wish I could be half as cool.
My neighbor's kid was not so enthusiastic about taking violin lessons. Said it wasn't 'cool'.......I showed him this and some other Jean Luc Ponty videos. I told him a saw Ponty live in NYC many years ago. He was amazed....... His mom was so glad I showed him Jean Luc Ponty. She had never heard of him and is huge fan now!!
Tom Fowler is a monster on that bass. Amazing!
So deep in the pocket he was never coming out.
His brother Bruce is on the trombone
he looked stoned and was workin his ass off to make sure fz didnt notice,,,,,,
Love the way he backs up Ponte all the way through his solo😊
Fowler played on some of Ponty's early solo albums....
I love Jean-Luc Ponty so much. Recognized his playing instantly, as someone who adores Mahavishnu Orchestra.
My wife was listening an Elton john track as I entered the room ... I was silent for a few seconds and then I said: that jean luc ponty on violin. Jlp has a recognizable style.
I had the misfortune when I saw Ponty with Mahavishnu, c 1972, it was so over-mixed volume for the New, plush medium sized Perth (West Australia), it was an unbearable noise.
Much better venue for smaller more refined groups.
Hope the stage mix was more tolerable.
Good to see Ponty here with such peers.
You may be thinking of Jerry Goodman with Mahavishnu.
and Miles
@@frankbotterweck8938 what is the track/?
Ruth underwood is the. Most important pice of the rhythm ensemble Ruth is the magic potion we all can’t get enough of long live the Queen of my reality❤❤
And there I stood as a 17 year old and watched this concert. Be totally enchanted after this.
Zappa's best days- among a lot of good days-- 1969 to 1976! George Duke, Ponty, Ruth, Ian, the Fowlers, Nappy Brock, .... wow! .. like a bird in flight...
It took me longer than it should have to realize what a genius Zappa was and how great his musicians were.
Welcome
Me too. I am a fairly well schooled pro guitar player and only when I retired did I have time to drift back into Zappa and his top level understanding of theory. Plus handling a band that size, internationally. His brilliant testimony to Congress over lyrics and free speech was genius and virtuoso.
You are not alone…
Jean Luc's violin solo, Bruce Fowler's trombone solo, the Maestro himself aaaaannnddd etc. Pure brilliance!
It's clear where The Ozric Tentacles got their sound from.
Outstanding music. Zappa's solo shows true genius.
Jean-Luc!!! Love his playing.
jerry goodman light years ahead
Ponty is amazing. Ive got most of his albums, even a bunch of stuff that he played on of other peoples. did you know he was on Elton John - Honky Chateau?
@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 Your opinion is irrelevant. He ‘s not comparing him to anyone. He just says he love his playing. And BTW, Ponty is a more emotional player than Goodman. Better is a term used by men that can’t deal with being ordinary.
@@SlaughterEngine jean-Luc Ponty = why I learned french - or tried!
FZ & the mothers = why I gave up piano, & gave away my psychedelic collection. but i was so much older then.
OMG...YES!!!
ZAPPA was always way ahead of his time. He is right on par with Beethoven, Bach and all the rest of the best of them. Zappa was a musical genius.
Да уж нахер особенно с Бахом! Проспись дружище.....
Gregory Peckery is a monumental classical masterpiece. So is Lumpy Gravy Primordial. He really was ahead of everyone else, it’s astonishing
Stravinsky and Zappa owned 20th century music...
Totally Agree with U
I'm 64. Been a Zappa and the mothers and beefheart fan since I was 16. Headphones are a total game changer. My son got a pair of really good phones for my Birthday and it opened up a whole new appreciation for Zappa and Tool, Zeppelin. All music really.
What headphones do you recommend? I've been looking for a pair that will reconnect me to the audiophile experience I so want again.
@@abatista181 Sony XM4s or XM5s. Noise-cancelling, bluetooth; pretty expensive, but thoroughly worth it.
Sennheiser hd800 is one of the best out there, if you have $2k
Sony MH755's are one of the best IEMs, if you have 10$.
Shit ugly zappa changed the World of boring assholes 🤣
"Jazz is not dead; it just smells funny" - Wow, what an aroma!
First time I listened to anything Zappa was today. I gotta say it sounds literal decades ahead of its time. Love what I'm hearing.
A lot more to listen to .
You'll love Hot Rats, Grand Wazoo, Waka/Jawaka and Chungas Revenge I bet then.
The Baby Snakes movie is one you should check out for sure! Jealous you're just finding out about him! He was an American Treasure and true patriot.
With that many ppl in your band playing that sht they would literally starve to death in todays world
Try Joe’s Garage.
Frank is a category all his own.
Yep.
11:07 major props to Tom Fowler for delivering this beautiful bassline during this performance
His brother ain't too shabby either!
Jean-Luc Ponty is in a totally different skill level on his instrument! What an incredible solo that was.
Frank ,when he played his solos,he wasn't trying to be a gymnast,he was trying to move the audience ,that's what it is all about,McLaughlin has the same gift.
You are right, but there's nothing wrong with guitar gymnastics
Also Frank,as well as John were executing Composer like duties as well. They rehearsed constantly and they surrounded themselves with straight killers of their particular disciplines.
Frank adored John!
There's a MTV interview with Zappa from the early 1980s, available on UA-cam, in which he says that he was one of the only guitarists anymore who still improvised his solos. Most of his colleagues carefully planned and rehearsed theirs note-for-note. Zappa said that, whenever he was about to begin a solo, at that moment he literally had no idea what he was about to do.
@@martinauger3293 There is if the technicianship isn't backed up with good musicianship
Don´t forget that Zappa and Miles Davis kicked off the FUSION thingie with "Hot Rats" and "Bitches Brew" and both, Miles Davis and Frank Zappa created a platform for great musicians to learn and to develop the ingenius crossover music of the 70s.
Maybe the underlying principle of all this was "Have No Fear"...
HOT RATS ...BURNT WEENIE SANDWICH...WAKA JAWAKA HOT RATS...THE GRAND WAZOO...IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!! TAKE THAT, STRAUSS, BEETHOVEN, ET AL!!!!!!!!!!! GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When so many bands were going for the gold, FZ was already golden. Sheer genius.
Everybody do yourselves a favor and listen to Duster by Gary Burton Quartet (1967)... and Elastic Rock by Nucleus (1970). Peace. Lol
I feel like Miles and Zappa were working towards the same thing, just from opposite directions. It’s like the transcontinental railroad lol. They met in the middle
@Gabriel Eleres The Free Spirits - Out of Sight and Sound (1967)
I have no idea how many times I’ve watched this. This is one of the best videos on UA-cam.
Longtime Zappa fan just seeing this vid for the first time. Fuckin amazing.
me too - there's so much output it's hard to keep up - & wasn't much of a Ponty fan until seeing this ... wow
+1
at last
Jean-Luc Ponty is simply astounding!
Das krasseste an Frank Zappa ist, dass er ein Autodidact war! Einfach unglaublich.😊
What a badass jam. This is the intersection of raw talent, intense rehearsals, and sheer passion for music. I love how Frank just watches like a proud parent and casually strikes up a smoke. He did the hard work at rehearsal, and can mostly just enjoy the show, come in when he feels he has some valuable input, and appreciate his hiring decisions haha. Thanks for uploading!
Frank was such a fearless artist, and had so much to say.
Like this:
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
@@davidcorcoran7581 And look around us now .
Have never heard a violin played like that. Unbelievable! Whole band is in a different world unlike any other!
Check James Rossi with super secret band in Pdx 🤯🤯🤯
I guess youve never listened to vintage Kansas😢
mahavishnu orchestra🤘🏼
Check out Zach Brock's violin solo on Mr. Montauk by Snarky Puppy, dude actually got praised by Mr. Ponty himself when Stanley Clarke asked him at some point about the new cat "who got the stuff" at the moment.
You really need to get out more. Lauri Anderson.
my favourite Mothers incarnation. They were really putting out some great stuff at the time.
Long before the music was a fact, there was a great invention! The mother of modern Electric music. Frank Zappa ,,,,,,,,and his long row of musicians. Amazing and unforgetable. Thank you.
Some of my favorite Zappa pieces are the ones that he played with Jean-Luc Ponty and Don Sugarcane Harris. We need more jazz rock violin freakouts.
Mahavishnu orchestra has many jazz rock violin freakouts
Wow!!! When music required talent, open mindedness and plaid suits. True genius. RIP Frank and George! You forever changed music.
music never required any of that
@@YQN2149 not required but it was more commonplace and expected (except for the plaid suits part)
@@YQN2149 MUSIC requires talent and open mindedness. playing notes on an instrument, whether they sound good or not, does not.
One thing Zappa never compromised on was the talent required to play in The Mothers or his "solo" efforts. Nothings but the best playing here and all of the other iterations of his bands.
@@spaghettiopizza8686 Thanks for the support on my comment.
I remember what I loved about Frank Zappa when I was in high school is the same still today: He was always exactly who he was: fn great musician, weird, wacky, and always fresh, original and unpredictable!!
As a teenager I hated Zappa's music, now some many years later I have learned to appreciate fine music. Zappa was a God.
You hated Zappa?
Another great piece of music by Frank Zappa. ❤🧡💛
I'm a pink floyd and led zeppelin fan. But now after 49 years I'm determined to learn to love zappa
You lucky devil, to be just embarking on that wondrous journey! Happy hunting.
Oh my goodness
I hope you live long enough LOL I’m 62 years old I didn’t learn Frank until my 30s ...now I’m addicted… and I understand!!
I always played guitar weird acording to my bandmates ?and then when I heard Frank I realized it’s what comes out of your soul
@@lobster4501 oooh 62. You're just a kid like me 😊
I've come to realise that all my idols are in their 70s and 80s. And still going strong. Except for Bowie who I also adore. Haven't really had time to explode zappa yet, but I will. 😊
@@heavymeddle28
Start with something "simpler," this is pure jazz ...He has done everything in musical styles...ua-cam.com/video/CbeFjEHE-XY/v-deo.html
@@tomaskrantz7114 thanks man. I'll give it a go 😊
Bruce Fowler is such a beast. Jean-Luc… goes without saying.
I got an interesting story to add my dad was on the road in Kentucky in may of 1974 They went out to the music store to go pick up some guitar strings there was a drunk guy walking on the side of the road with long hair my dads band decided to pick him up it ended up being Tom Fowler from Frank Zappas band line up they ended up staying at the same hotel where he was playing at nice size bar inside so George Duke also came in with Tom Fowler later that night and jammed with my dad I got a recording of it such good times back in these days priceless.
FZ… The better your audio system the better his music sounds. So much going on…you have to listen to believe it.
Saw Frank and the Mothers in SF in early ‘70’s at Winter land. Awesome…
It does! With just a bit of luck you can get very happy. Few decades ago i got hold of a pristine 1970s Philips/AKG headphone set (N6330). Later on for !5euro a dito NEC bd1000 recordplayer i still have and the list goes on.. very-very happy audio days for the rest of the time given ;-)
Frank's solo channeling the sitar, playing a raga here. Incredible modal jazz.
That's it! Jazz fusion.
Oh, but dat coat! He was always haute couture! Frank!!!!!!😅ive missed you these 30 years!
1st song I ever heard by Frank Zappa was a warning about yellow snow.
Little did I know at the time that this guy was SO MUCH MORE than funny.
This track = MIND BLOWN!
This is a pure gold, should be shown to civilization 1.000 years from now. Keep this piece alive!
We'll all be brown and Islamic.
No one will really care.
YES < This comment! I agree!
@@1neAdam12 Ignorant son of a bitch!
@@sleeplessaquarius Stinking maggot!
Nazi turd!
Jean Luc Ponty killing it, as usual!
what people don't realize is frank composed every note played in these songs. believe it or not frank considered guitar solos "instant compositions " so he played with his heart. great man.
The heart is the gateway portal to heaven upon Earth 🌎 and the Earth is Yo Mama.
I sometimes see visual art when I hear the solo off that song on the last track of the album titled "Sheik yerbouti" 💕🙏🥰
@@lisadavie5282 You should never smoke in pajamas
That is not true, Frank composed many compositions that were vehicles for solos such as king kong and what's on display here with dupeee's. The written part is all the backing and the theme, and then solo's played over these that were improvised and changed every time the same song was played.
@@dutchbannger6503 exactly!
including the drums
I was only 4 years old when this was performed, but I think this is the best jam I've ever seen. Jean-Luc Ponty giving it the Mahavishnu Orchestra treatment, Bruce Fowler with a trombone solo that seemed to be channelling John Coltrane at times, fantastic rhythm section holding it down from Tom Fowler and Ralph Humphrey. I was choked up with emotion watching and listening. Incredible.
Frank producing the greatest ever jazz guitar solo amen
Listening in 2021, hoping it will last for a long time and far after the end of our time as a mark of a enjoyment into a journey.
Insane level of talent on that stage
I don’t remember who it was in my life that turned me on to ZAPPA when I was sixteen but I wish I could thank them. Back in the early seventies you didn’t accidentally bump into Zappa unless you watched The Mike Douglas Show!
This is one of the finest guitar solos ever constructed. I love Frank Zappa.
That was just painful to hear. He played some nice solos but this was was just horrible. Incredibly sloppy.
@@EbonyPope Ok doomer.
@@mikehartmann3858 No it was garbage, he really doesn't know how to construct a solo compared to the other players in his band....I mean he has Ponty and George Duke, why would anyone who's not schooled in jazz follow them, it's absurd.
Really gets to the point. Bravo maestro 👏.
@@EbonyPope Not sloppy..... just Frank....
Man gave us music that we would have never heard if he ain’t here. And how many people carried on in their own music career. Just a wellspring of talent.
The Genius of Frank ZaPPa has yet to be matched.. Even in the 21st Century.. 😎👍🏻
The genius is out here but in so many different places. So much to listen to and create and not enough time to hear it at least four times.
Frank Zappa is like the universe. You will discover new stars every time you see their performances.
Saw this live at Southeastern Mass University in 1973 ,Tom Waits opened. It was the begging of my love affair with FZ. I was 17, Melody turned me on to him. I still love her! The more I watch this I'm realizing it was not just Frank I witnessed live but also George Duke, Jean-Luc Ponty, the Fowler Brothers and Ruth.
For anyone new to Frank's music who has picked this clip at random. Just look at the date, 1973! Do any modern groups play music like this? Of course not, Frank was way ahead of anyone back then, and even now, in late 2016. Truly a genius.
Ariel Pink does do some stuff like this but his music is a little more reliant on nostaligia and social commentary then beautifully orchestrated improvs like this
Also I guess if you listen to Badbadnotgood some of their melodies are very insprired by FZ
Mahavishnu Orchestra was making music like this also
that is a great point my friend, I couldn't have said it any better myself!! high 5 to u !!
Leo Cachero jean luk ponty and george duke also played in mahavisnu orchestra
Zappa, Ponty, Duke. Unbilievable.
I know at first I was like "Oh cool, a live one with George Duke on keys!" Then I read Ponty's name in the info...
Bruce Fowler, Tom Fowler!!
wow didnt realise it was JLP till you pointed it out. Thanks
This is Zappas best years....And his best band.
There are still lovers.of good music.❤
Been a huge Zappa and Ponty fan for decades. This may be one of Jean-Luc's finest solos ever. Other players are outstanding here as well. Great footage and sound.
JL Ponty is almost in a class of his own. Up there with Sir George Duke and his Majesty Frank. Not that there aren’t other great musicians on that stage but Ponty has a way of letting his music enter a different domain.
Big Ponty fan for decades. Have caught him live twice. This may be his best performance. Never a huge FZ fan but mining this era is changing my mind!
@@mattkiner5419 This is the best era for Zappa - early 70s with George Duke, Ruth Underwood and Chester Thompson.
What about Sugarcane Harris on Violin? - he:s just as good as Ponty , but other Style. (Hot Rats? / don't remember...
Man I couldn't agree with you more! What an incredible performance he gives here! Just sends my soul soaring to hear musicians play like this! And Jean Luc is just on another planet! For me hearing music like this is such a senses overload, that I almost can't take it! Word's can't really describe how great it is!
Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny 😎 Love Frank 😎👍🏻

This fella is so good.Truly one of the greatest composers who ever drew breath.
Really just discovered this cat within the last few moths...unreal. Nobody writes or plays guitar like this guy, he is unique. I only wish i found him earlier in life.
Jean-Luc ponty absolutely tearing it up. The greatest violinist ever. Enigmatic oceans. This might be the best bands FZ ever had, Tom and Bruce Fowler ,Ian and Ruth Underwood ,George Duke, Ralph Humphrey& Jean-Luc!Chester Thompson was that missing piece that made that band spectacular. the same band that was on apostrophe an overnight sensation. Designed in the muffin utility research kitchen.... ARF!
...with a spatula
I loved Apostrophe but all his mothers albums too....Help! I'm a rock....
Don't forget Vassar Clements
TRUE- BUT WHAT OF STEPHEN GRAPELLI ? ( WITH DJANGO REINHART )
Much along the lines of Big Swifty, which is also a colossal listen.
In 200 years from now, musicians will still be in awe of this perfect beautiful sound.
the way the drums complement the solos ❤
A master piece and absolutely genius musician goring into the future...soulful indeed...Frank.
Finding so much refuge in the unspeakable beauty of this performance right now. Frank was so much, cold and cynical and sarcastic at times... but there's no denying the depth of the guy's heart, you can hear it in every note he plays. So moving, that solo.
yes his music strikes chords like no other. purely beautiful and free
I'm normally not a fan of trombone, but this guy is tearing it up.
Rarely see Trombone.. good memories.. nice to see 💚💛💖
I wish Frank we're alive to enjoy all the great technology available now for writing and recording music.
That has got to be the best trombone solo I've ever heard, Ponty's solo was also unbelievable. Man!
Listen to the New Brubeck Quartet album "A Cut Above." Chris Brubeck's trombone is amazing, particularly on "Forty Days/Sermon on the Mount." Of course, the rest of the album showcases his brilliant fretless bass playing.
This has to be one of the most moving pieces I have ever seen. I always loved FZ but could not find friends of the same mind. Screw them! :-)
You could find them all over the world, but they use secret signs ;-)
We are a rare breed!

I’m of that mind, David! I agree, he was one of our GREATEST Composers, Period
So far advanced and ahead of his time. Nothing in 1973 was as complex and sophisticated as Zappas music. Even by todays standards, it holds up to the best Jazz-Rock fusion around. What makes it even more amazing is that basically a lot of this is spontaneous playing. Zappa knows the general direction of a musical piece, but never plays it exactly the same again in live performances. He said as much himself, that he does not like repeating himself in music.
What a great way to start the day! Greetings to all from sunny Greece
This piece is so brilliant in every way that it makes me weep. Not sadness though. Nostalgia. And sheer awe over the wealth of genius and talent here.
Bruce Fowler is amazing!
I was fortunate enough to have attended 3 Frank Zappa concerts in my life! My only regret was not to have seen more! The man was a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎
I saw 7 and have the same regret
I saw none as I became a fan 3 years after his death. You are fortunate indeed.
Caught 5. Radically different every time.
I saw him 8 times. Every show was different
Amazing writing and amazing players! Hard to believe it was 50 years ago.
Beautiful job catching those cymbals in stereo like that.
Saw this band in 73 in Sydney,.....plus Sal Marquez on trumpet.........treasured memory
Frank was a true musical genius and very underrated!
Frank Zappa songs are like a box of chocolate you never know what your gonna get
Still ahead of his time in 2023.
Still timeless after almost half a century. Thanks Frank.
WOW, NO ONE PLAYS THIS
GOOD LIVE ANYMORE, WHOLE BAND - -'jazz fusion, great chops.
Yeah....nowadays, Derek Trucks Band may just fill in that gap.
voir ce chef d'oeuvre de zappa avec Jean Luc Ponty, juste magnifique
Almost 50 years later and WHEN HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING THIS GOOD SINCE THEN?
It was music's climax !!! Does not come back !!!
Wow! Trombone solo stunning. Band is very, very tight - especially beginning around 14:45. I’ve heard so much about FZ over the years but I never really got it. This performance shows me why he’s so revered. Terrific.
Love the way Zappa stops right in the middle of the music and lights a cigarette...or something else?
AGREED !!!
Phenomenal
Makes me want to go out and buy one!! Damn good!!
I hope in the year since you wrote this you have had the opportunity to explore more of Zappa's work. Once you get him, there is no turning back. I have been a fan for thirty years and he is one person whose work continually cycles through on my play list.
Great solos all around !
I’ve been listening to Zappa since his first album. He just gets better and better, the more I listen. Probably the best composer of my generation, certainly the most entertaining and experimental. Quite a dab hand at the old guitar too.
The electric violin is just plain insane I tripped on this music with blotter acid I didn't get home for 3 days after seeing frank and the mothers of invention so good man just like another world
the Muthers o' Invention were somethin' else an' How !
I was introduced to mr Zappa by my Oxford educated English teacher in1983. Frank has been in my life every day since then. To quote Matt groening ( the creator of the Simpson’s ) Frank’s music is interesting. Frank was undoubtedly a genius. I love him and miss him every day. But his music will live on forever 🙏🙏 thank you mr Zappa. You will never be forgotten ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

An' wot's worse, they alle consider themselves superior tae other countries an' think that anything that isn't purely french, like foreign languages or world muzyk, is o' nae value at alle, and 'fore they think fer a moment, they reprobate and reject it out of hand. They cannie e'en speak'st English properly. It's true that these days, the youngsters know a few words, but, Ô cardinal sin, they feel obliged tae adopt the stinkin' Amerikan accent an' adopt words a-belongin' tae a silly vocabulary, without subtlety, finesse or refined elegance.
A remarkable example :
today, alle generations use the English word : "cool" a-thinkin' they're using it correctly, but they art nae. They alle adopt this word tae warmly welcome good news or an event, but ev'ryone without exception doth ignore that this word (cool) means the exact opposite o' wot they want tae express.
Here's the translation of my message already sent :
Laugh ! Thou hast missed the point. I wanted tae point out tae thee that ye missed the whole thang, thou missed Zappa's best period 'fore he did Jazz, and that's thy fault. Thou hast tae come out o' thy muther's womb 12 years 'fore, mah wee boybee.
