Have you seen Dweezil Zappa's Zappa-Plays-Zappa that has been touring over recent years. http://zappaplayszappa.com They are an awesome band, Frank would be so glad his son is carrying on the Zappa tradition. Dweezil plays a choice selection of Frank Zappa compositons from over his career. This is no mere tribute band, they really are the latest incarnation of the "Mothers Of Invention". And they have mastered so many Zappa compositions it is truly amazing. Each time I have seen them they have played completely different sets of Zappa material. Dweezil looks more and more like his Dad as he gets older. Plus he plays all his Dad's guitar parts with unbelievable expertise and sensitivity.

If you like Frank Zappa then Zappa-Plays-Zappa is an absolute must see/hear whenever they are in your area next. Many of the musicians Dweezil has play with him are ex-Mothers Of Invention. I think this is the best band in the world today. Recently I bought tickets for all my bandmates so they would experience Zappa. They were blown away. By the way I have seen Frank live on both the Apostrophe (which featured jazz greats George Duke on keys and Jean Luc Ponty on electric violin ) and Overnite Sensation tours so I do know the Mothers Of Invention. While it is so sad we lost Frank he left his music in very capable hands.
