Dear Zappa fans,

I am happy to share the second part of “Frank Zappa’s Jazz Allures”, which – together with Part 1 – in about 5 hours tries to highlight the jazzier side of Frank Zappa, especially through the renditions of his work played by countless jazz musicians/bands. Of course there’s plenty of Zappa himself.

Here it is: https://www.mixcloud.com/MondoJazz/frank-zappas-jazz-allures-part-2-mondo-jazz-ep-55/" rel="nofollow - https://www.mixcloud.com/MondoJazz/frank-zappas-jazz-allures-part-2-mondo-jazz-ep-55/

And if you missed the first part: https://www.mixcloud.com/MondoJazz/frank-zappas-jazz-allures-mondo-jazz-ep-53/" rel="nofollow - https://www.mixcloud.com/MondoJazz/frank-zappas-jazz-allures-mondo-jazz-ep-53/

The detailed playlists are available here:

Part 2: https://spinitron.com/radio/index.php?station=rfb&playlist=9096#here" rel="nofollow - https://spinitron.com/radio/index.php?station=rfb&playlist=9096#here

I would love to hear your thoughts on it and more generally on Zappa & Jazz and if you know of albums I’ve not included, by all means let me know.

Thank you and happy holidays!

Hi,

I just did a listen from "Hot Rats" all the way to "Roxy and Elsewhere" ... and the more I listen to those 6 or 7 albums, the more I find the work magnificent. I kinda stop at "OS" because that's when the music became too much pop music for me, instead of the wonderful jams and material from before.

Oh, btw, shame on Dweezil for not introducing Jean Luc Ponty during his tour with RTF. JLP's playing in those albums is amazing ... and deserves more attention! So does the late George Duke.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
