Frank Zappa | At The Palace (2cd) | 2CD

Frank Zappa was an American composer, guitarist, bandleader, conductor, producer and filmmaker, born in Baltimore, Maryland, on 21 December 1940 and died in Los Angeles on 4 December 1993. His music combined rock with influences from contemporary classical composers such as Igor Stravinsky, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Edgard Varèse, alongside late 1950s doo-wop and rock and roll. He was also a satirist, and his lyrics were known for their humour and parody.
