The Story
Dweezil Zappa writes about "Zappa Plays Zappa" in the liner notes, "My father once said progress is not possible without deviation from the norm. He spent his life and musical career absurdly corroborating that statement. In his music you will rarely find uniformity. Instead you will find a sweeping array of multitudinous rhythmic permutations, assigned to wildly intriguing melodies that are sometimes draped over text. The end result however you may describe it is a remarkable human achievement. With over 75 astonishingly diverse albums, my father left behind a body of work that will clearly stand the test of time. The concert and CD are a spectacular denouement. Make no mistake about it. "Zappa Plays Zappa" is a labor of love for me and my family and its sole purpose is to officially celebrate Frank's music and act as a conduit, bringing interested parties to the original inimitable source. A lifetime's worth of the World's Finest Optional Entertainment awaits those with open minds..."
