The Fowler Bros.(Tom and Bruce) on bass and trombone- the awesome George Duke on the keys, Jean-Luc Ponty on violin. However, I am not positive who was on drums here, I would have to check-(rather than give the wrong info). I saw Frank a number of times live (six, at least) during the 70's and they always performed up to expectations, no matter who was in the group at the time.

Frank Zappa may be gone from us, but as far as musical immortality he's one of the Immortals. He could play rock, pop, jazz, classical, hard rock, progressive rock, every genre was turned on its head by him. He wrote very funny unique lyrics full of great insight and commentary. The man did everything. He was certainly the best musician for putting jazz and rock together in a way that actually worked. I currently write poetry and am thinking of a book of it upcoming. It's very different from anything Zappa did, but at the same time beneath the pastoral surface he's there in it and if I were to embark on music I'd carry all that he gave me with me. Frank really did music a huge favor by all that he accomplished. He will always be missed.

Zappa also looks like a Turkish rock guitarist, singer and songwriter Barış Manço. He was an iconic figure who brought rock music to Turkey. Me and my friends are sometimes kidding around saying Barış Zappa or Frank Manço when we talk about Zappa or Manço.

Grata surpresa saber que fez parte da trupe do Zappa que é outro que dispensa comentários.

Zappa's musical vision changed rock, ushered in fusion sounds and jazz influence and big-band energy that later showed up in BS&T and Chicago.

Ecouter la musique de Franck c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, préludes à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Dans le courant de l'art abstrait dont FZ marque la vitalité et l'intérêt toujours renouvelés, le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers impalpable. Couleurs, composition, rythme, constituent un langage qui donne voix à l'exaltation - Merci Franckie !!!

My uncle had all these Zappa albums, like 15 or 20, and when I was about 10 or 11 he got some of them out and since I was so young, he thought I would like the more lighthearted, funny songs he wrote, like Stinkfoot. So, from an early age, I always thought he was a comedian who used music to tell his comedy! No shit, I thought he was like the first Weird Al Yankovick. And Frank was nothing of the sort. I knew he was an amazing musician, but only the funny stuff. And I thought the Police song actually said We all spit in our hot cereal...

In my opinion, the 1970's was the best decade for FZ! It was just enough outside but also had some clutch pocket grooves; way before all the synclavier stuff. I truly adore the rhythm section with Tom Flower, bass and Ralph Humphrey some of the greatest pocket playing in the 70s. Also a huge kudos to Ruth Underwood , the best female percussionist of all time! Hopefully, the Zappa Trust will keep releasing this classic era of FZ !
