| Frank Zappa Kung Fu The Lost Episodes Frank Zappa Catalog 1996 Zappa had diverse musical influences that led him to create music that was sometimes difficult to categorize. As a teenager Zappa was simultaneously enthralled by R&B, doo-wop, the modernism of Igor Stravinsky and Anton Webern, and the dissonant sound experiments of Edgard Varese. He is probably the first to incorporate avant-garde elements in a rock-n-roll format.
This track was recorded in 1972, and does not include Frank Zappa. |
