Zappa Plays Zappa

: Frank Zappa remains among the most cherished composers and artists of the late 20th century. His legacy is strong and alluring. Dweezil Zappa, the late musician’s oldest son, has been carrying the torch since 2006, performing his father’s music with the same sort of zeal originally infused into the Zappa canon. Consistently ranked as one of the most exciting and entrancing live shows touring these days — among fans and the uninitiated alike — Zappa Plays Zappa is an absolute force. It’s apparent that Dweezil cares about the music. Onstage, he takes his role as reverent conduit quite seriously. It also helps that he picked up more than a handful of his old man’s ridiculously talented genes. (Sandy)
