In this volume, author John Corcelli reveals Zappa's roots as a musician, from his diverse influences to his personal life. We also learn more about his former band members and the enormous musical legacy inherited by his son, Dweezil. The book features a juried examination of Zappa's recordings and his videos. It also features a complete discography and a recommended reading list. Each chapter has a special focus on Zappa's life, with sections covering his family, his home studio - known as the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen - his keen interest in the Synclavier (a device he first used in 1980), his guitars, and more. Special attention is paid to the Mothers of Invention.
Frank Zappa FAQ is a must-have for fans new and old looking to delve into some of the best music ever made by one of the most innovative artists the world has known.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
John Corcelli was born and raised in Toronto. He is a musician, actor, radio producer, and writer. He studied improv at Second City and plays clarinet and soprano sax, but not at the same time. His first book for Backbeat was published in 2016: Frank Zappa FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Father of Invention. While sharp enough to appreciate the art of stand-up comedy, the author of Outside Looking In: The Seriously Funny Life of George Carlin is also smart enough to know that it's easier to write about it than perform it.
