Frank Zappa | Capitol Theatre 1978 (4cd) | 4CD

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.

Credits include Peter Wolf and Tommy Mars on keyboards, Arthur Barrow and Patrick O'Hearn on bass, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, Ike Willis on guitar, Ed Mann on percussion and Denny Walley on slide guitar and vocals.
