Zappa Plays Zappa
About This Album
Since 2005, Dweezil Zappa has led an extended and industrious rockin' teenage combo dedicated to re-acquainting the world with the sights and sounds of his father, Frank. They revive Frank's music in a fresh context that is -- above all else -- true to the elder Zappa's unique and impeccable sonic heritage. This dozen-song single-CD is an audio-only distillation of the Zappa Plays Zappa (2008) double-DVD package. The contents were taken from a pair of concerts -- Portland, OR on December 21, 2006 at the Roseland Theater and on the 22nd at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, WA. The junior Zappa's guitar craft is at once like his father's, and yet he's mature enough to have already developed his own signature touch. Like the various Mothers of Invention configurations , ZPZ travels with a fairly substantial ensemble. Joining Dweezil are core constituents Joe Travers, Pete Griffin, Jamie Kime, Aaron Arntz, Scheila Gonzalez, and Billy Hulting. Another of Dweezil's primary tethers to his father's legacy are the artists who at one time or another passed through the '60s, '70s, or '80s bands that Frank fronted. These specific gigs were star-studded affairs with a trio of legendary former Mothers and others who spent time working with Frank.
