Mother's Day Music
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention warped my musical soul.
It was the heyday of the English music invasion and the beginnings of the psychedelic scene when I first heard the music of Frank Zappa. The Mothers of Invention 1966 debut album 'Freak Out' was filled with gritty doo-wop, dense ballads and searing political commentary that touched someplace deep inside. It was the 'Lumpy Gravy' series 'We're Only In It For The Money' that forever changed the way I listened to music though. With that album, Frank introduced me to polyrhythms, jazz, nob tweeling dub and very early renditions of 'trip hop' music. I was hooked for life.
There was something about one drummer playing in 7/8, while another drummer was playing in 3/4, while the organ player is playing a measure in 5/8 - simultaneously, that caught my ear. It is no surprise that I had a self-made bumper sticker on my first car that read 'Zappa's Jazz Babies'. We'd like to share a little of that music with you here today.
