frank zappa goes insane on the 'montana' improv

Sep 17, 2011 - This band toured quite extensively but only for a relatively brief time. There was a lot of subtle variation in personnel during this period. (even the Roxy album ) There just isn't much in the way of official release. I don't know or remember much of the details but I think it was related to JLP. Zappa's bands were contract players---paid for their performance. Ponty had a problem with Frank releasing recordings he was a part of without getting a cut. By the way, this is 1973.

Sep 17, 2011 - Ah, that explains a lot. This definitely seemed like a 73 band, and that threw me off a bit.And since Ponty was the biggest "name" in the band, I can see that happening. Good thing there are plenty of bootlegs. ;)

May 26, 2012 - What blows my mind is that there is supposedly tons of his work that we will never hear because it's either unfinished or tied up in legal issues. My fascination with him will never cease. And as for listening to his music...I'll be blasting out "Orange County Lumber Trucks" in the old folks' home.
