With today’s release of Alex Winter’s documentary on Frank Zappa comes the news that its soundtrack is also available to stream.
Music in Zappa spans the composer’s entire career, including psychedelic rock, jazz, and classical experiences – starting with several tracks from his 1966 debut with the Mothers of Invention, Pinball, until the last recording of his life, 1993’s The yellow shark. It contains 12 tracks that were never released – including three selections from a June 1968 concert at Whiskey A Go-Go, his 1978 performance of “Dancin ‘Fool” on Saturday Night Live and several interview clips – as well as two songs originally released on Zappa’s labels, “No Longer Umpire” by Alice Cooper and “The Captain’s Fat Theresa Shoes” by the GTOs.
The soundtrack also contains music from two of Zappa’s main classical influences, Edgard Varése and Igor Stravinsky, and 26 selections from John Frizzell’s score. You can listen using any of the platforms found here.
For Zappa, Winter was given full access to the Zappa Trust. He interviewed several musicians who worked with Zappa, including Steve Vai, Mike Keneally and Ian Underwood, as well as Zappa’s widow, Gail, who died in 2015. You can see the trailer below and stream the film from its official site.
Universal is accepting pre-orders for the physical set, which will be available next year in three CD or five LP format (black or smoke vinyl), as well as a compilation of 21 tracks that will be sold digitally and on clear vinyl.
