Frank Zappa

The famous fire at the Montreux Jazz Festival took place on Dec. 4, 1971

Frank Zappa's ‘Studio Tan’ album was released in September 1978.

"Live", 'Live', 'Live' , it appears a major portion of June is 'live album' month with the new goods being released whether it's by design or by accident, I'm not really sure.

Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, The Doobie Brothers and Iggy and the Stooges are in our first group of new or reissued music, DVD for June.

The rock scene in 1967 was huge in Los Angeles and one band that was a big part of that was The Turtles.

The Zappa Family Trust, headed by Frank Zappa's widow Gail, has announced that select titles from the massive Zappa catalog will be finding their way to vinyl this summer. In June, Zappa's Barking Pumpkin label will put out editions of 1973's 'Over-Nite Sensation' and the 1966 classic 'Freak Out!,' joining the recently released 'Finer Moments,' a collection of live material from the early-'70s.

FRANK!! Every weekday around 9:30, we pull one out of the attic. In case you are new,the Attic is a mythical place where we were “enlightened” by great music…and other stuff.

Frank Zappa was a musician either ahead, or completely outside, of his time. His elaborate music and bizarre stage theatrics were so one-of-a-kind that it almost isn't possible to accurately describe Zappa's work in words, and that often set him at odds with the mainstream media.

It has been a long time coming, but one of Frank Zappa’s albums is getting the philharmonic treatment.

The career of Frank Zappa has been nothing if not innovative. Nearly 20 years after his death, his estate is continuing his tradition by coming up with a new way of licensing his music, by allowing his fans to serve as independent distributors.
