About Manning Bartlett Expertise I could answer are on any aspect of Zappa`s compositional output, including his 1200 copyrighted works. I can answer questions that relate to his idiomatic techniques of composition (particularly with regard to his adoption of computer-based composition in the few years prior to his death in 1993), orchestration and performance Particuarly in the area of his adaptation on Varese`s `Musique Concrete`). Additionally I can counsel musicians attempting to play Zappa`s music (which is very challenging for the most competent performer) on technical and interpretive issues.
Question Hi,
I have all of Zappa's official albums & am getting a bit bored of them. Could you tell me some of the titles of some of his more sought after bootleg recordings (CD & Vids/DVDs). I particularly like the Vinnie Col/patrick o'hearn period, the really wierd guitar improv stuff (yo' mama & rat tomago type solos) & the broadway the hardway band ( oh & the roxy & elswhere band).
Of course I wouldn't do anything illegal like buy this stuff, i'd just like to know (heeh heheeh heeh heeheh).
