Frank Zappa - Music In Review flac album

Frank Zappa Plays the Music of Frank Zappa: A Memorial Tribute is a posthumous album by Frank Zappa. According to the liner notes, Frank's son Dweezil talked with his father shortly before Frank's death about the songs Frank had written that he would consider to be his "signature" tunes. These were "Zoot Allures", "Black Napkins" and "Watermelon in Easter Hay"

This is Frank Zappa's most commercially accesible album, because it has "Don't eat the yellow snow" which was his biggest single up until "Valley Girl" in the eighties I think. Frank actually cut out parts of Dont eat the yellow snow and Nanook Rubs it to form a single for the radio I believe. This album is basically a collection of incomplete stories with a very good amount of humor. Some of you won't find Frank's humor funny but hopefully most will after a few listens. The album has some excellent musicians on it, and some great guitar work by Zappa

Most of this album is instrumental, yet it is complete and imaginative, actively supported by a big band. When "For Calvin (And His Next Two Hitch-Hikers" starts, it starts with passion and a very entertaining original jazzy touch, which is there the whole song. Musically this album is at par excellent with "Hot Rats". Some of my friends reckon that this album even better than "Hot Rats". I can agree but I still consider that both are at the same quality. Personally, I consider the music of Zappa - especially this album and also "Hot Rats" - is the kind of music typically used at pasar malam (night market - it's not truly.

Zappa also hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live during its fourth season (1978-1979), which didn't go over so well with the cast at the time, who saw Zappa's mugging and calling attention to the cue cards during sketches extremely irritating (the only cast member who liked Frank Zappa and was glad that he hosted was John Belushi).
