Feliz cumpleaños Frank.

Mi verdadero nombre es Frank Vincent Zappa (...). Nací el 21 de diciembre de 1940, en Baltimore, Maryland. Cuando aparecí estaba todo negro; pensaban que estaba muerto. Ahora estoy bien.

Mis ancestros son sicilianos, griegos, árabes y franceses. La madre de mi madre era francesa y siciliana, y su padre era italiano (de Nápoles). Ella era de primera generación. La parte greco-árabe viene de mi padre. Nació en un pueblo siciliano llamado Partinico, y llegó en uno de los barcos de inmigrantes cuando era un niño.

Trabajaba en la barbería de su padre en el puerto de Maryland. Por un penique al día (o un penique a la semana, no me acuerdo), se subía a una caja y enjabonaba las caras de los marineros para que su padre los afeitara. Un trabajo estupendo.

Más tarde fue a la universidad en Chapel Hill, en Carolina del Norte, y tocó la guitarra en una especie de trío 'crooner itinerante' (...). Iban de ventana en ventana, cantando serenatas como "Little Red Wing" a las estudiantes. Estaba en el equipo de lucha y, cuando se graduó, cogió un trabajo enseñando historia en Loyola, en Maryland.

Mis padres hablaban italiano en casa para que los niños no supieran de qué estaban hablando, que probablemente era de dinero, ya que nunca parecíamos tener bastante. Supongo que era conveniente para ellos tener un 'código secreto', pero no enseñar el idioma a los niños puede haber tenido algo que ver con su deseo de adaptarse. (No estaba de moda ser de 'extracción extranjera' en los EE.UU. durante la II Guerra Mundial).

Vivíamos en unas casas del ejercito en Edgewood, Maryland.

Instantáneas de Don Van Vliet.

Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Bat Chain Puller (1976)

Captan Beefheart (Don van Vliet, su nombre verdadero) & His magic Band venian de grabar un par de albums "comerciales", que no gustaron para nada a sus fans. Despues de estos fracasos, en 1975 Frank Zappa, amigo de toda la vida de Beefheart, lo invito a tocar en un tour con el (Bongo Fury Tour). Cuando termino el tour, en 1976,Beefheart y su banda ensayaron y grabaron nuevas canciones en el estudio de Zappa, quien ademas los financio, el resultado fue el excelente Bat Chain puller; pero Zappa, que en este momento tenia un sello con un socio, no tenia intenciones de editar este disco, queria que un sello mas grande lo compre y edite. La cuestion es que Zappa y su socio se pelearon y este disco nunca salio.
Un par de años despues el Capitan consiguio un contrato discografico con Warner y se grabo el disco Shinny Beast (Bat Chain Puller). Se grabaron devuelta gran parte de las canciones del Bat Chain Puller, mas algunas nuevas. En la grabacion trabajo el ingeniero de sonido de Igor Stravinsky, y con este disco la banda volvió a recuperar la confianza de todos sus seguidores.
Y bueno, esa es la historia, el disco nunca salio, Frank Zappa murio, y su familia,que son los que tienen los derechos de editar el disco, nunca lo hicieron. A lo largo de tres decadas salieron diferentes piratas de este disco, algunos de mala calidad, otros mejores, y algunos directamente eran falsos. Esta version es la mejor, esta pasada directamente de una cinta original a un cd, del cd a flac.

el Adiós a Captain Beefheart.

Al final de su vida Van Vliet vivió en el norte de California y se dedicó por entero a la pintura, (hasta el punto de afirmar que puede ganarse la vida mejor que como músico) hasta el 17 de diceiembre de 2010 cuando muere a causa de complicaciones de esclerosis múltiple. En un principio, recibió algunas críticas por parecer un "músico de rock metido a artista para aumentar su ego". No obstante, a lo largo de los años su trabajo ha ido recibiendo críticas positivas y una mayor atención. Su pintura, como su música, se ha caracterizado por ser innovadora y extrema, alcanzando algunas de sus obras elevados precios en el mercado del arte, y ha sido comparado con Pablo Picasso o Franz Kline. Gordon Veneklasen, director de la "Michael Werner Gallery" (Nueva York), describe a Van Vliet como "un increíble pintor" y el crítico de arte John Rogers como "uno de los artistas abstracto-expresionistas más renovadores en todo el mundo".

SIEMPRE TE RECORDAREMOS.

La Navidad a lo Zappa.

Este Martes a las 18hs en Zappa GRITA! Radio Show, vamos a festejar el cumpleaños de Zappa con DOS discos en version COMPLETA, ¿Cuales son? Ya lo sabrás.

Se cumplen 30 años del asesinato de Lennon

Un arma en manos del asesino Mark David Chapman descerrajó los cinco balazos con los que hace 30 años se truncó la intensa, prolífica y movilizadora vida de John Lennon, el artista que dotó al rock de un componente ideológico y testimonial capaz de resignificar la manía planetaria que vivió como parte de Los Beatles.

Quiero recordar a Lennon, bajo el contexto de este Blog, dejando tres videos de cuando John y Yoko subieron al escenario a tocar unas canciones con Frank Zappa. Que mejor forma de recordarlo junto al maestro. Gracias John.

17 años del fallecimiento de Frank Zappa.

En la primavera de 1990 los médicos diagnosticaron a Zappa un cáncer de próstata inoperable, y le dieron muy poco tiempo de vida.

Déjame decirte. El cáncer te puede preocupar. Te puede preocupar a muerte. Estoy luchando por mi vida. De momento voy ganando. He sobrepasado ya las apuestas. Cuando el cáncer fue diagnosticado al principio, los médicos no me dieron mucho tiempo. Pero he sorprendido a todo el mundo quedándome hasta ahora.
¿Cuál es la alternativa? Quedarte en la cama o trabajar. Si tienes un estudio y un buen equipo de gente como yo, y todavía tienes ideas musicales, entonces vas a trabajar y trabajas hasta que ya no puedes trabajar más.
Antes era un ave nocturna, pero ahora suelo estar en cama a las seis o las siete de la tarde. Ya no me es posible trabajar todo un largo día. Me levanto a las 6:30 por la mañana. Si puedo hacer un turno de 12 horas, entonces siento que realmente estoy haciendo algo. El equipo llega alrededor de las 9.30, lo que me da un poco de tiempo para trabajar solo antes de sentarme en el estudio todo el día con ellos.

Lejos de deprimirse, luchó contra el cáncer con toda su energía dilatando el tiempo lo más posible y apretando su agenda de trabajo todo lo que la enfermedad le permitía, preparando material para su publicación e incluso previendo futuras publicaciones póstumas.



Trabajo tantas horas al día como físicamente lo puedo soportar. Lo normal ahora son unas 15.
Cuando estoy cansado, me voy a dormir.
Lo que hago depende del tipo de trabajo en que estoy metido. Los dos últimos meses he estado muy metido en producción de discos, así que el día de trabajo de producción es diferente de uno con el Synclavier. Normalmente, me levanto, como alguna cosa, bajo las escaleras, y me voy directo a Sonic Solutions. Transfiero cintas en el disco duro y empiezo a editarlas, ecualizarlas y construir cosas. Y luego, después de que un álbum está construido, lo vierto, recargo el disco duro y sigo. Y usualmente trabajo de noche para hacer ese tipo de cosas. Tenemos un ingeniero que trabaja de 9:00 de la mañana hasta las 7:00 por la noche, cuatro días a la semana. Mi agenda se superpone con la suya. Le doy instrucciones de lo que hay que mezclar, le digo cómo quiero que se haga, y él monta la cosa. En ese momento, yo me voy a dormir cuatro o cinco horas y luego me levanto por la tarde, y él habrá o completado la mezcla o estar ya listo para pasarlo a cinta. Así que me siento con él, desde digamos, las 4:00 a las 7:00 y superviso las mezclas. Y tomo una hora para comer. Y sobre las 8:00, vuelvo a Sonic Solutions. Normalmente trabajo hasta las 4:00 o las 5:00 de la mañana.

Otros proyectos que dejó preparados para su edición fueron The Lost Episodes (1996), que reunía material inédito de estudio desde los años 50 hasta los 70, Have I Offended Someone? (1997), recopilación de sus temas más ofensivos para quien se deja ofender, y Everything Is Healing Nicely (1999), grabado con el Ensemble Modern, y que incluye más material de los conciertos y los ensayos de The Yellow Shark, Dance Me This, un ballet realizado con el Synclavier, Trance-Fusion, recopilación de solos de guitarra procedentes sobre todo de la gira de 1988, y The Rage and The Fury: The Works of Edgar Varèse, una grabación de música de Edgar Varèse con el Ensemble Modern.




En lo que estoy trabajando justo en este momento es en un álbum de Synclavier llamado Dance Me This, que está diseñado para uso de grupos de danza moderna. Probablemente no va a salir hasta el próximo año.
FZ, entrevistado en Guitarist Magazine, 1993

Finalmente, después de una larga y dolorosa batalla contra la enfermedad, Frank Zappa murió el 4 de diciembre de 1993 acompañado de su familia. La declaración oficial de su esposa Gail fue que había partido hacia su "última gira."

Live in Miami 16-Oct-1976 except tracks 14 and 16, which are live in New York
31-Oct-1976. The sound quality bites it on the New York tracks, and "Muffin Man"
is supposed to be especially abominable. The Miami sound is "quite excellent"
on Volume I, but not so good on Volume II. Very silly colour covers with non-1976
photos on the back. Released in 1987 and 1988.


From Larry:

Thought you might be interested to know that I am the guy who made the original
concert recordings for some of those boots, particularly Miami Matinee. I made
the mistake of sharing copies of these tapes with the wrong people, which led to
their commercial release as boots. My master tapes are qualitatively superior,
and more complete, than the multi-generational versions that eventually got
released.

Here's a little trivia about the Miami Matinee concert that you might want to
throw onto your website. I remember the day very clearly, even though it was
28 years ago. Beautiful and sunny, with puffy clouds. The University of Miami
booked Zappa at the last second because a date in Jacksonville got cancelled
for some reason. The concert was held on the University of Miami "patio", an
outdoor gathering area adjacent to the pool. The area was usually used for
outdoor snacking on food bought in the Student Union. The patio was about the
size of the average jazz club, maybe 40 feet wide by 100 feet deep at the most,
so it was a very intimate setting. There no seats. We sat on the concrete deck
on towels, as at a picnic.

During warmup rehearsals several hours before the show, Zappa's band played
"Layla", and I could kick myself for not having my tape deck with me. My
recording equipment consisted of a Sony TC-153 SD portable stereo tape deck,
a component-quality cassette deck intended for on-location recording of non-
critical quality. (I used the same deck 4 years later to record an interview
I did with Zappa). At the time, I believe, it was the only mid-priced deck
of its kind (about $200). The next deck up was a portable reel-to-reel that
cost about $2500. I used two Sony microphones of medium quality. I forget the
specs but each mike used an AA battery internally. I think it was called an
electret condenser mike, but I'm not certain. The masters were recorded on
Maxell UD tape.

During the concert, Zappa's bodyguard, John Smothers, eyed the audience like
a hawk looking for taping equipment. I had to hide the tape deck under a
blanket with just the ends of the mikes sticking out. Smothers did catch
someone else taping the show. He went down, took the cassette out of the
guy's recorder, then went back on stage and proceeded to pull the tape out
of the cassette, one yank at a time, until it was all out. This was done in
full view of the audience, as an object lesson.

The bootleg version does not contain the complete show, nor does it play
the songs in the sequence they were performed.

Zappa Plays Zappa (& Jeff Simmons) "Wino Man" @ Roundhouse 6-11-10.

Mas info sobre lo nuevo de Zappa.

Jeff Simmons - Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up (1970)

Jeff Simmons, born May 1949 in Seattle, Washington, is a rock musician and former member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Simmons provided bass, guitar, and backing vocals for the group between 1970 and 1971. He left The Mothers just prior to the filming of 200 Motels (where he was replaced in the film by Ringo Starr's chauffeur Martin Lickert) in mid 1971. Jeff later returned to the group for a time during 1972 and 1973. Zappa and Mothers albums he appeared on include Chunga's Revenge (1970), Waka/Jawaka (1972), Roxy & Elsewhere (1974).

Years later Zappa released a number of archival recordings made during this period that feature Jeff including You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 1 (1988), You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 6 (1992), and Playground Psychotics (1992). Jeff also appears in the Zappa movie The True Story Of Frank Zappa's 200 Motels (1989). Numerous Zappa bootleg recordings from the same era also feature Simmons.

Simmons is one of only a handful of musicians to share a songwriting credit with Zappa. Their collaboration Wonderful Wino appears on Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up and also on Zappa's 1976 album Zoot Allures. The title song of the album Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up was also re-recorded in a completely different arrangement on Zappa's 1979 album Joe's Garage. Simmons is also listed as co-writer (with Zappa and Napoleon Murphy Brock) on Dummy Up from Zappa's 1974 album Roxy & Elsewhere. During a 1982 guest DJ spot on UK's BBC Radio 1 Zappa played some of his favorite recordings including Simmons' song I'm In The Music Business.

5. Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up

Lucille
Has messed my mind up
But I still love her
Oh I still love her

Lucille
Has messed my mind up
But I still need her
You know I need her

Whatcha tryna doota me
Whatcha tryna doota me
Whatcha tryna doota me
You got me goin' outa my mind

Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But I still love her
I really love her

Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But I still want her
I really want her

She treats me like my heart
Is made of stone
She runs around
And leaves me home alone

She doesn't answer
When I call her on the phone
She messed up my mind
I'm cryin' alla the time

Lucille
Has messed my mind up
But I still love her
I still love her

Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But I still want her
Hey, I still love her

Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But I still need her
I really need her, baby

Oh, Lucille
Has tore my heart up
But you know I still love her . . .


7. Wonderful Wino
(Bruister/Simmons)

L.A. in the summer of '69
I went downtown and bought some wine
Wasted my head on three quarts of juice
And now the grapes won't turn me loose
I'm a wino man
Don't you know I am?

36, 24, hips about 30
I seen a fine lady and I start talkin' dirty
She looked at me and raised her thumb
And said: "Jam down the road, you funky-ass bum"
I'm a wino man
Don't you know I am?

I, I went to the country
And while I was gone
A roller-headed lady
Caught me weedling on her lawn
I'm so ashamed, but I'm a wino man
I can't help myself
HELP ME SOMEBODY!

My saxophone playing
And my wino career are in a slump
'Cause I find myself now living
In a cardboard refrigerator box down by the Houston dump
And I'm so ashamed

I've been drinkin' all night and my eyes are all in red
Crashed in the gutter and bugs in my head
Bugs in my clothes, been scratchin' like a dog
I can't stand water, and I stink like a hog
Give me fi-i-ive bucks and a hot meal
Give me FIVE bucks and a hot meal
Oh, maybe an overcoat or two
