We’re only in it for the money.
HAHAHAHA
OK OK...we’re just a bunch of professional musicians with pretty diverse backgrounds who decided to take on a pretty big challenge and have some fun in the process.
Now you might ask “Oh yeah? Professional musicians eh? What makes you think you can play Frank’s music as well as [insert Zappa family/band member here]?”
Well maybe you haven't heard of us individually but <sing> "we're pretty good musicians" </sing> and you probably have heard of the folks on our resumes:
BB King Mick Fleetwood Barbara Streisand LA Philharmonic James Taylor Pinetop Perkins Arthur Barrow Munich Philharmonic Bryan Beller Popa Chubby Yo Yo Ma Andy Summers Madison Opera blah blah blah....you get the idea.
As for Frank's music he was constantly changing things both for his own creative choices and to adapt to the different musicians he had over the years. He also understood that his live performances were entertainment: it's supposed to be a rock show not a piano recital.
With all that in mind we don’t think playing Song X from Album Y note-for-note while staring at our shoes is the proper way to go about this.
The result of that approach (combined with a lot of homework) is a show that pays respect to Zappa’s legacy but is also new and different and dangerous and FUN with lots of eyebrows.
Kinda like Frank.
