[Zappa-List] Frank Zappa Miles Davis jazz-rock
I really enjoy Zappa's jazz-rock music, especially HOT RATS (1969). I always used to read rave reviews about Miles Davis' jazz-rock album BITCHES BREW (1970), and once in a while IN A SILENT WAY (1969) was mentioned. I have never found much to like in either of these two albums, so I figured if these were the best Miles had to offer from the period when he switched to electric instruments, I decided to concentrate instead on his recordings with John Coltrane prior to 1956. Years later I still don't like BITCHES BREW and IN A SILENT WAY very much, but I recently discovered that Miles' music before and after BITCHES BREW blows that album out of the water (I don't know what the critics were thinking rating BITCHES BREW so highly). The MILES DAVIS QUINTET 1965-'68 (6CD box set) showcases some stunning jazz that is just beginning to show rock influences creeping in. Some of the original albums represented are E.S.P., MILES SMILES, SORCERER, NEFERTITI, MILES IN THE SKY, and FILLES DE KILIMANJARO. If you want to sample only one album from this period, I would recommend MILES IN THE SKY. After BITCHES BREW some great early fusion appears on THE COMPLETE JACK JOHNSON SESSIONS (5CD box set). The music was edited and spliced to create the albums of the day, something that Zappa had been doing for years, but it was entirely new for a jazz artist to be doing this at the time. Be forewarned; this box set has many alternate takes that are similar. The closest thing to HOT RATS from Miles Davis is maybe THE CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS (6CD box set). Each of the 6 discs is a different live set from across 4 days in December 1970. There is some overlap in the music, but if you listen to only one set at a time it is mind-blowing. There's a good interactive Davis discography at http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/miles_davis if anyone is interested. The fan reviews there are the reason I started checking out these box sets in the first place, after writing off BITCHES BREW years ago. -Bri For further Z-related fun, please visit http://www.thebignote.com or http://www.killuglyradio.com , thank you.Yahoo!

Re: [Zappa-List] Frank Zappa Miles Davis jazz-rock
Zav, These 6 albums were mainstays in my dad's rotation. Listening to Jazz at such an early age (I am 51), allowed me to open my mind to what music can be. It allowed me to be open to music, especially FRANK ZAPPA, while others my age were being raised on commercial radio... Thanks for the reminder...

[Zappa-List] Frank Zappa died at age 52 of prostate cancer.
Hey everyone, Yesterday at the age of 52, I went for a Prostate Exam. It really was not that bad, not even having to lean against the table while the Dr. poked his finger up my ass. So why am I sharing all of this? Because I am a Zappa fan and do want to help spread the word that getting an exam is not that bad. So, I urge you to get this done and continue to enjoy the music of Frank Zappa!

[Zappa-List] Frank Zappa: Past Flops And Future Shocks
Frank Zappa: Past Flops And Future Shocks Richard Williams, Melody Maker, 25 August 1973 HIS ARMS AROUND a red-haired girl whose ample chest was covered with a Mighty Thor t-shirt, debonair Frank Zappa (32) sank deeper into the couch, flexed his bare bronzed torso, refused a Gitane ? Too strong for me ? and concentrated his mind on the latest edition of the Mothers of Invention. This is the first of my bands, he said, which possesses the technical facility to play the harder stuff from memory. The band, an octet, is currently on tour in Europe, and makes its only British concert appearance at the Empire Pool, Wembley, on September 14. The new lineup, which has already completed two tours of America and one in Australia, comprises Zappa on guitar and vocals, Jean-Luc Ponty (violin), Ian Underwood (clarinet, bass-clarinet, flute, synthesiser), Bruce Fowler (trombone), George Duke (keyboards), Tom Fowler (bass-guitar), Ralph Humphrey (drums), and Ruth Underwood ? Ian's wife ? on marimba, vibes, typani, and assorted small percussion. It is not, said Frank, in any way a successor to or continuation from the 20-piece Grand Wazoo/Hot Rats orchestra which appeared at the Oval cricket ground last year. It doesn't sound like any band of any sort that you've heard any place ? the instrumentation alone gives it a completely different tone quality. As a result of the widely differing timbres of the instruments, you get a lot of contrast. Much of their material, too, is unfamiliar. 'St Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast', 'Don't Eat The Yellow Snow', two blues called 'Penguin In Bondage' and 'Slough My Throng', and lastly something called, 'Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?' which Frank describes as an instrumental with choreography. They'll also be playing some old favourites, specifically 'The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue', 'Green Genes', 'King Kong', 'Chunga's Revenge', and ? for the first time in five years and by popular demand ? 'Brown Shoes Don't Make It'. To coincide with the tour, there is (inevitably) A New Album ? by the same personnel plus trumpeter Sal Marquez. It's called Over-Nite Sensation, and contains none of the compositions mentioned above. Instead, it sounds like another sneaky attempt by the Mothers of Invention to get their cruddy music on the radio. There didn't seem much more to say about this new band until we'd all got a chance to hear it, so Frank discussed the Grand Wazoo tour: All the concerts were great ? except the one in London. It's tough to take a 20-piece electric band to a frozen cricket ground where the audience is trying to tear down the goal-posts (?) and burn them to keep themselves warm. But we broke all records at the Felt Forum in New York. The Grand Wazoo seemed, I suggested, like a pinnacle of his career, the object he's always been aiming at right from the days of Freak Out. It would have been that kind of a climax, if the band had been able to memorise the arrangements, and if the technical equipment had been of the right quality. The only thing that's important is whether you have the opportunity and the money to present your crazed ideas properly. 200 Motels wasn't done properly because there wasn't enough time or money. The Wazoo tour, for instance, did five concerts and grossed 90,000 dollars ? and I lost 2,000 dollars of my money on it. There was no way that I was going to make any. I gauge the success of something by whether I can appreciate the outcome on a personal spectator level. If all the parts aren't audible, it isn't right ? and that goes back to the technology and the money to provide it. On 200 Motels, the orchestra beat the shit out of the music ? they just didn't play it properly. I couldn't even recognise it when they'd finished. Most of the actors were non-professionals, and the whole thing was shot in 56 hours. We all needed more time, and if I'd had it, I've have gotten better performances out of everybody, because they were the right people for those roles. In spite of that, I think it was a good film, and I believe that over a period of years you're going to find out how many strange predictions in the script actually come true. Such as what? Well, pay particular attention to the dialogue between Mark, Howard, and Aynsley. No matter how twisted you think that plot is, it's based on things that had happened, or on things that were based on suppositions extrapolated from mathematical predictions of people's personalities. Returning to technology, Zappa explained that they've brought the PA system which used to belong to Chicago. It's a 52-input stereo system, with all kinds of studio-type facilities like limiters, compressors, tape-delay, phase-shifters, and variable equalisers. The guy who's mixing it all for us is Gary McNab, who engineered our last six albums. We finally got him out on the road. He's the third mixer this band has had ? the first one was Stephen Desper,

could stand some tweakage. The instruments come thru fine, the vocals are there
about 75% of the time; it's the asides that need boosting, but there are a lot
of them.
Still, an excellent show...
Now, if only someone would come forward with the other show from that
2-night run featuring Joni Mitchell reciting "Penelope wants to fuck the
sea"...
A Grail, of sorts.

That would be the
13-Nov 1970, Fillmore
East show that was vined in the List this past
summer.
You're right; it was a
good show - but it could stand some professional tweakage to equalize all of
the vocal parts...

Yeh, I agree! At the
beginnign of a show, he is trying to get the audience to woo Grace back
onto the stage, but can't think where and when (earlyish material, I
think - also a very good show, with some funky
rock),

[Zappa-List] Frank Zappa - Phase II - The Big Note (Documentary) in Cinema in Amsterdam!!!
Hi All, On tuesday August 2 at 9.45 pm the documentary 'Frank Zappa - Phase II - The Big Note' Will be shown @ Cinema 'Het Ketelhuis' (www.ketelhuis.nl). De documentaire can be seen on Cinema Format Screen and sound. For those who want to enjoy this interesting documentary they can go to the cinema Het Ketelhuis in Amsterdam at the Westergasfabriekterrein, on Tuesday August 2. Je can call them to make a reservation local telephone number 020-6840090 or through Belbios, and the price is lower than of most 'commerical'(Pathe) cinemas! Info on the documentary: Frank Zappa: Phase II - the big note Netherlands 2002, ± 90 min. Director and scenario: Frank Scheffer Producer: Frank Scheffer (Allegri Film) Camera: Melle van Essen, Rene van der Eijk Sound: Wib Nelissen, Harold Jalving Eidting: Riekje Ziengs Music: Frank Zappa e.o. FRANK ZAPPA: Phase Two--The Big Note (Preview of a work in process) Ever seen Frank Zappa without facial hair? Join us for a compelling new video documentary by Frank Scheffer for Dutch television station VPRO--a comprehensive overview of Frank Zappa's unique achievements, peppered with mesmerizing historical footage. Performances by the Ensemble Modern and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, statements by Frank Zappa himself, Edgar Varèse, Pierre Boulez, Captain Beefheart, Ian Underwood, George Duke, Haskell Wexler, and Gail Dweezil Zappa. Directed by Frank Scheffer. (2002) 90m Frank Zappa Phase II: The Big Note Directed by Frank Scheffer So what is tonight's special treat? Let's see. A Dutch director named Frank Scheffer brings us a 90-minute documentary about legendary composer, Frank Zappa. Highly-insightful and entertaining clips and rare footage are spliced in, most notably four or five brief interviews with Zappa and a television appearance in which he had no facial hair. They really give you the feeling that Zappa was a clumsy and shy kid at one point in his life. In addition, several interviews with ex-members of his band give insight on what it was like to work with such a prolific and unique composer. A powerful man with a visionary mind, he pushed the limits of musician's abilities into realms they initially refused to consider exploring. His spontaneous conducting style while working with audiences and orchestras is probably still under-appreciated.

[Zappa-List] Frank Zappa on Crossfire
In 1986 Frank Zappa told it EXACTLY like it is in defense of our freedom of speech. In response to the attempts to ban certain lyrics in rock music, Frank Zappa appeared on Crossfire in March 1986. He spoke with intensity,reason, and great power on the ridiculousness of paranoid conservatives in their attempt to censor free speech. In the course of the conversation, Zappa eloquently pointed out the greatest DANGER in America: FASCIST THEOCRACY. a href=http://www.ifilm.com/viralvideo?ifilmid=2658805;Frank Zappa on Crossfire video/abr Yahoo!
