MOTHER! The Frank Zappa Story
Michael Gray Revised and Updated Mother! The Frank Zappa Story is an account of the tragically curtailed life and work of one of rock’s most uncompromising personalities. Gray traces the development of Zappa’s life and work, from his childhood in Maryland to his move to California, the formation of his cult band the Mothers of Invention in the sixties, and three further decades of controversy and innovation, ending with his extraordinarily public illness and subsequent death. Multitalented and iconoclastic, Zappa’s prolific work over this 30-year period spanned satire, rock, jazz and ‘serious’ modernist music. This updated edition provides a timely reappraisal of Zappa’s musical and cultural legacy. 256 pages / 80 b+w photos / 230 x 150mm
