Series: I Am All Day And Night: The Music Of Frank Zappa
LISTEN HERE!
This series explores Zappa as a composer, and is told through the memories of some of those who knew him best -- family, his friends, and some of the musicians who worked with him. You'll hear from Zappa's wife, Gail Zappa,(daughter of a rocket scientist, mother of Moon, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva Zappa. Writer, Art Director, Provocateur.) Ruth Underwood, the percussionist who first heard him at a famous concert at New Yorks Garrick theatre in 1967.(The Mothers of Invention played in New York in late 1966 and were offered a contract at the Garrick Theater during Easter 1967. This proved successful and Herb Cohen extended the booking, which eventually lasted half a year. As a result, Zappa and his wife, along with The Mothers of Invention, moved to New York. Their shows became a combination of improvised acts showcasing individual talents of the band as well as tight performances of Zappa's music)
