Frank Zappa |
||||||
 |

|
||||||
| Guitarist and composer Frank Zappa was primarily a rock musician, though certainly one of the most eclectic figures in the history of the genre. Influenced by modern classical music and American rhythm and blues, he experimented with electronic sounds and recording techniques, fusing jazz improvisation with rock music backing and classical music structure. Much of Zappa’s music is intended as social commentary; he is known for his biting musical satires of classic rock-and-roll songs. | ||||||
