Banned from Utopia



Frank Zappa is one of the most important composers of the twentieth century. His works of more than eighty albums is by far the most voluminous and versatile of the entire generation rock - even though his untimely death in '93.
In 2015 Frank Zappa would have turned 75. High time to acknowledge his emormous legacy! And who would be as fit to do so as the incredible musicians he himself had recruited for his band? For this special anniversary a whole bunch of the most popular Zappa collaborators are back to turn the complexity of his compositions from syllabus material at the music academies into blistering experiences in the world's concert venues again. The band consists of singer and guitarist Ray White, bassist and violist Tom Fowler (Captain Beefheart, Elton John), Robert (Bobby) Martin (Prince, Stevie Nicks) and saxophonist Albert Wing (Diana Ross, Johnny Guitar Watson. The band is completed by guitarist Robbie Mangano (Mothers of Invention, Sean Lennon) and drummer Joel Tayler (Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola, Robben Ford).
