The present day composer refuses to die.

@mrmusic248 2 года назад

@@hp67c: As long as there are real musicians playing real instruments, such as we see here, the present day compose will NEVER die. Frank is getting his best revenge on those that shunned his music, and that never gave him any credit as a serious composer. It's sad that the most remembered song in the Zappa catalog is "Valley Girl", or possibly, "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow". Somewhere in the ethos, Frank IS observing these bands/orchestras that are keeping his music alive, and smiling at it all.

Zappa has been my favorite since 1966; I have all his records. I like some songs better than others, some I do not care for, some are to die for. Your orchestrations have brought NEW life to compositions I did not appreciate as much before. Thank you.

@holdencaustic 5 лет назад

I see a lot of criticisms on this.... It does come across as less urgent than some other versions.. BUT: they are keeping Zappa's music out there, and I would personslly rather listen to this, than, say, the umpteenth jazz big band version of "chicken" . Kudos!

@shayneoneill1506 4 года назад

Plus its Jazz. Interpreting rather than just reciting music is the very beating heart of what Jazz is all about. And Frank would have been fine with that. He constantly reinterpreted his own songs, and often built in spaces for his band to interpret the song too.

@blahpunk1 3 года назад

If the horns weren't so much louder than the bass/guitar parts it would sound much closer to the original. The way I see it there are two melodies and one of them isn't nearly as prominent as the other here.

Almost like The Grand Wazoo plays G Spot, good fun Arf!!! Arf!!!

@todd8155 Месяц назад

Yeah the Grand Wazoo, and the Petite Wazoo are some of my favorite band lineup; Frank could do Big Band! In fact, I would have been OK if Frank continued with that lineup and that line of music for another decade or two. The Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka albums are superb. If anyone is a fan of these there is the Wazoo album featuring the Petite Wazoo Big Band. Not at consistent as the previous mentions 2 albums, but still has some great material.

I tried to learn this on guitar years back. This arrangement is so far outa the box it seems impossible to play live. This is fantastic!

@todd8155 Месяц назад

It was from the Jazz from Hell album, which Frank composed using the Synclavier as Frank considered the material to difficult for humans to play. That might be why you had some trouble ;-O One track has a solo from Ship Arriving too Late, and also has Steve Vai and some other guitarists.

When ever I have been to see performances of FZ's music, in ensemble format, I am always overjoyed by how happy the performers are. They laugh and smile throughout, whenever possible, which increases the sense of intimacy of the performance & the composition. Music & poetry must have life, or it withers by degrees.

"G-Spot Tornado" was predicted by Zappa himself to be impossible to be played by humans (like most of his Synclavier stuff), but it turned out that some people really dare playing it live on stage. He even presented it himself during the Yellow Shark premiere in Frankfurt 1992.
