Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa var en kreativ kraft uten sidestykke i rockehistorien – en artist hvis musikalske spennvidde, innovasjon og fryktløshet er nesten utrolig. Som komponist, gitarist, bandleder, produsent og samfunnskommentator utfordret Zappa stadig normer gjennom en imponerende karriere som strakte seg over mer enn tre tiår. Fra de første årene til The Mothers of Invention – hvis banebrytende debutalbum Freak Out! fra 1966 var med på å definere konseptalbumet – til hans senere orkester- og synklavierbaserte verk, opprettholdt Zappa en utrettelig kreativ kraft som krysset sjangre med intellektuell skarphet og kunstnerisk mot.
Zappas musikk forener rock, jazz, klassisk, avantgarde og satire i et helt unikt lydunivers. Album som Hot Rats (1969), Apostrophe (') (1974) og Joe's Garage (1979) regnes fortsatt som essensielle verk, mens liveinnspillingene hans – mange utgitt fra hans legendariske «vault» – vitner om en bandleder med sans for både nitid presisjon og spontan energi. Zappa utmerket seg også som en kompromissløs forsvarer av ytringsfriheten, og i 1985 talte han berømt mot musikksensur i den amerikanske Kongressen.
Med over 60 offisielle albumutgivelser i løpet av livet – og mange flere utgitt posthumt – lever Zappas arv videre og fortsetter å inspirere både musikere og fans over hele verden den dag i dag. Diskografien hans er omfattende, eksentrisk og full av overraskelser, der hvert prosjekt reflekterer en unik visjon og en konsekvent vilje til aldri å gjenta seg.
Vi har samlet et omfattende utvalg av Frank Zappas album og liveutgivelser i vårt sortiment nedenfor – en hyllest til en av de mest banebrytende artistene i musikkhistorien.
