Description
Here it is! Flotation Device's 2022 Mother’s Day extravaganza, featuring Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. Whether or not you're ordinarily a big Zappa fan, we think you’ll like what we've cooked up for this special podcast: a combination of classic studio albums, live dates, rehearsal tapes, oddities and rarities, plus a number of archival items newly released by the Zappa estate over the past year. We emphasize the experimental, non-commercial side of the Mothers, with guitar solos, post-Varèse composed modernism, and group improvisations punctuated by spoken-word inserts creating a characteristic Zappa-esque montage. Don Preston, George Duke, Jimmy Carl Black, and Ruth and Ian Underwood are among the legacy Mothers you'll hear in recordings made between 1964 and 1976, along with cameos by Captain Beefheart, Jean-Luc Ponty, Lady Bianca and many others. Join us for one of our funnest shows of the year!
