It's a repeat, but still well worth watching. :)
Peter Green is always worth listening too.
Indeed... Btw, see my reply to your Miles Davis query here: https://theartofsound.net/forum/show...63#post1217463

Just a heads-up, guys, for anyone interested who can get BBC2 Wales: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000l3vn

Not sure if this the correct place to post (and if it's not, can a Mod move it to a more appropriate place), but tonight at 9:00pm on BBC4 is a documentary about Frank Zappa.
To quote from the RT:
The first all-access documentary - years in the making - about the American musician Frank Zappa, who died in 1993. It conveys the scope of his prodigious and varied creative output, and the breadth of his extraordinary personal and political life. The documentary team was granted exclusive access by his widow Gail to a vast collection of Zappa's unreleased music, movies, incomplete projects, unseen interviews and unheard concert recordings, much of which was deteriorating and in being in danger of being lost for ever.
and
A musically divisive figure, Frank Zappa was a wildly creative Renaissance or a maker of unlistenable noise, depending on your viewpoint. At his artistic zenith - an era of wall-to-wall disco - Zappa was certainly running in the opposite direction. A prolific artist (62 albums) and a beacon for nonconformity (calling two of his children Moon Unit and Dweezil), Zappa freeform oddness connected with many people who were bored of bubblegum pop.
Born in Baltimore in 1940, Zappa led 60s sonic experimentalists the Mothers of Invention, a group that seemed to attract Spinal Tap levels of disaster - Zappa himself was injured after being thrown from a stage.
In solo mode he released prog-jazz-comedy fusion LPs including Hot Rats an Zoot Allures, but as this in-depth, all-access documentary shows. he was also a film-maker and political activist. And one who was almost unstoppably creative, whether you like him or not.
Thanks for the heads up, Barry. A must for all Zappa fans, I reckon!:cool:
