Never say that Frank Zappa could not write beautiful music!

Sometimes, the people with the weird ideas are the one with the most beautiful music. Example: Schostacovich!

How can you not sink into that world between those 2 guitars and how Zappa is literally speaking to you? The sublime tension and resolution that he creates against the repeating guitar is genius... Thanks for the stereo version! 😉

Steve vai started as a transcriber (not arranger) for Zappa in his teens and then became a member of the band when he was 19 or 20 for ca two years, labeled ”stunt guitarrist” by Zappa.

This is one of the few times Frank plays an acoustic guitar.

Watch him live. It's amazing how good his bands are. Incredible musicians.

This whole album is FIRE. Released as part of a Trio of Albums with similar mastery of the instruments, all different from each other. HOT RATS / SLEEP DIRT / GRAND WAZOO 3 of his most famous recordings and can be listen to 100's of times. Hot Rats and Grand Wazoo have a few spoken words, rest is just pure Zappa Brain-storm. (As seen on the rear cover Grand Wazoo)

Also, Studio Tan should be shoehorned in there, somewhere. All of those you listed are straight through listens for me.

Steve Vai first started working for Zappa doing transcriptions of his guitar solos which were completely improvised...

Zappa hired Steve Vai as "Stunt Guitar," but frank did arrangement, orchestration, etc. He is a chamber music composer forced to do popular (enough) music to pay to hire symphonies to play he real stuff. Frank was the one that asked the backround guitarist if he was tired. Great observation on the solo bringing it together and make the song tonal!

Interesting that after the studio version JR pressed pause just as KZbin was automatically going to one of those famous live versions which combine Sleep Dirt and Black Napkins. (He should listen to that sometime).

Sleep Napkins! Beautiful tune

To be accurate, Frank employed Steve to transcribe music for the band, stuff he needed notated for them to learn, but was too busy to do himself.

Sounds out of tune and I hear him missing notes.
@DWHarper626 ай бұрын
You are hearing the tension of the dissonance but that makes the resolution sublime... And the missing notes you think are missing is because you aren't dancing to his rhythm...
