Album: Zappa/Wazoo
Review: The big brass band that Frank Zappa briefly took on the road in 1972, just before the release of his instrumental LP The Grand Wazoo, was an army of twenty out for serious business. "Nobody sings," Zappa wrote at the time. "Nobody dances. They just play music." They didn't do it often enough. This two-CD set, the whole of a previously unissued concert in Boston, combines the complex, blaring... ]]> New Release : Zappa/Wazoo http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/frankzappa/albums/album/17482344/review/17489157/zappawazoo http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/frankzappa/albums/album/17482344/review/17489157/zappawazoo?source=frankzappa_rssfeed Fri, 30 Nov 2007 03:40:37 PST Photo Artist: Frank Zappa

But Zappa was incredibly vital to me, as a composer and guitarist. I think he was the best electric-guitar player, other than Jimi Hendrix. Zappa conceptualized the instrument in a completely different way, rhythmically and sonically. Every boundary that was possible on the guitar was examined by him.

I'll never forget the first time I saw him live, in New York, when...

Album: Joe's Garage Acts I, II & III
Review: Frank Zappa's satirical rock opera, Joe's Garage, is ambitious and mad, brilliant, peculiar and incoherent–epithets that have also been applied to German expressionist Georg Buchner's unfinished play, Woyzeck. This may seem like a ludicrously lofty cross-cultural reference to attach to an album most notorious for a song about Catholic girls' aptitude for fellatio, but there you have it. As a... ]]> Album Review : Apostrophe http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/frankzappa/albums/album/133117/review/6067994/apostrophe http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/frankzappa/albums/album/133117/review/6067994/apostrophe?source=frankzappa_rssfeed Tue, 25 May 2004 12:12:39 PDT Photo Artist: Frank Zappa
Album: Apostrophe
Review: Having proven his stellar musicianship on a series of instrumental-based solo albums, Frank Zappa is now returning to the musical satire on which his formidable reputation was built. Apostrophe turns out to be so brilliantly successful, though, that it seems as though he's never left this field. Songs like "Stinkfoot" and "St. Alfonzo's Pancake Breakfast" again attest to Zappa's abilities at... ]]>
