La escultura es un regalo para la ciudad de Baltimore orquestada por tres chicos de Lituania: Saulius Paukstys, Pilinkus Saulius y Baublys Arturas. Es una réplica del busto de Frank Zappa instalado en Vilnius (en la foto), creada por el artista Konstantinas Bogdanas. El regalo y el lugar fueron aprobadas por la ciudad de Baltimore de Arte Público de la Comisión y será sancionada por la familia.

El legendario músico y compositor Frank Zappa nació en Baltimore en 1940 y falleció en 1993, en su casa en Los Angeles. Es internacionalmente reconocido como uno de los compositores más innovadores y músicos del siglo 20 con una carrera de más de 30 años.

Joe Travers Vaultmeister



Este video es una locura, Joe Travers tiene acceso a todos los tapes que Zappa fue grabando en su vida, desde Demos de jazz, los maters originales de Freak Out a la actualidad con las ediciones de Trance-Fusion. Un video para mirar una y otra vez. Gracias a la producción de Gail Zappa, hoy lo podemos degustar en el sitio Oficial Zappa.com.

The Final Word
Track Name: Lonely Little Girl [© 1967 zft]
From the Album: LUMPY MONEY copyright 2008 Zappa Records
This is the original SINGLE that preceded the release of We're Only In It For The Money in 1967. It is unique in concept and construct and certainly bears no resemblance or assemblance (and why should it) to anything that was current then, on or off the charts. LUMPY MONEY is it's debut on a CD.

Joe’s Menage (2008)




Joe's Menage is a live album by Frank Zappa, posthumously released on October 1, 2008. It contains previously unreleased material from 1975. It is the fourth album in the "Joe's Corsaga" series, which is devoted to various rarities compiled by Joe Travers for the Zappa Family Trust. This album contains material from a concert in Williamsburg on November 1, 1975 (the middle part). It presents for the first time extensive recordings featuring vocalist and alto saxophonist Norma Jean Bell, who was only in Zappa's touring band for a brief period in late 1975.

The album first germinated in 1978 when Zappa gave fan Ole Lysgaard several cassette tapes, including one of this 1975 concert. In 2004, Lysgaard sent the tapes to Gail Zappa, and she decided to release this particular dub made by Zappa. It was not possible to retrieve Zappa's original tapes, but the tape reel from which Zappa had produced the cassette dub was located in the Vault. It was restored by Joe Travers and mastered by John Polito.

Zappa GRITA! te desea un FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS RINGO !!

WAZOO (2007).






Wazoo is a live album by Frank Zappa, posthumously released on October 30, 2007.

It is a 2-CD set consisting of the complete concert given by "The Mothers of Invention/Hot Rats/Grand Wazoo" 20-piece big band on September 24, 1972 at the Music Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

It is the last concert of a brief series of shows that marked Zappa's return to the stage after his forced temporary retirement from the touring scene due to the injuries he suffered from an assault during a concert at the Rainbow Theater in London on December 10, 1971.

The material showcases Zappa's endeavors into jazz-based music, and many of the compositions were featured on the 1972 studio albums The Grand Wazoo and Waka/Jawaka and on the 1978 studio album Studio Tan. Rehearsals leading to these albums and concerts are documented on Joe's Domage (2004), while Imaginary Diseases (2006) presents live recordings with a stripped-down version of the big band named "Petite Wazoo."
