Zappa is one of the musicans that used modern classical music influences like Busoni, Respighi and perhaps Boulez. His final attempt "Yellow sharks" are confirming his adherence to classical music patterns. He is a serious person for me. - What I like the most of Zappa is his ability to create musical theatre in his songs. Listen to: "Joe's Garage Part one". His wet t-shirt night is pure theatre without a real stage. It's radio. - His cruel sarcasm appeals to me in "Andy" and "Florentine pogan" (Album : "one size fits all", which I guess is his most contentive album) or his sexism in "Apostrophe" and "Joe's garage". - And then I like his musical abilities as a composer in tracks like "Inka roads" (One size..) His guitar solo on this track is outstanding. No one on earth would play it like this. It's like talking on a guitar. And all his co-musicians on nearly all his records are little geniusses as well: Eddi Jobson, Colajuta etc.
Frank ZAPPA has made the musical field so much funnier and richer that we should thank him for that. His short live is a little bit sad.

Perhaps Boulez? Boulez is the champion of Twentieth Century music - without him we might not have pieces by Schoenberg, Webern et al in the orchestral repertoire at all!

Not forgetting the immensely talented Steve Vai, who probably could play that solo - after all, that's pretty much how he got the gig originally, by playing Frank better than Frank...

Apart from Grand Wazoo, Hot Ratz, Sheik Yerbouti & Zoot Alore, can anyone reccomend some good Zappa albums which are musically consistent throughout?? |
Two from the early 1970s which always go well together and are consistent in their content and quality are "Overnite Sensation" and "One Size Fits All"; the humour is there, of course, but the arrangements are all top notch (especially with musicians such as Jean Luc Ponty, Ian Underwood, Napoleon Murphy Brock and George Duke involved).
These are two definite 'must haves'.
