FRANK ZAPPA - NONCONFORMISM AND EXPERIMENTATION

  • John Walsh: Nonconformism and Experimentation
        (2024, book, --, private release)
Another book on Frank Zappa.
It's actually a collection of short essays.
At first sight, I liked the subjects that this book touched upon: "controversial relationship with the media", "battles for freedom of expression", "politics and critical thinking", "innovation in music writing", ...

I like the idea of collecting essays on various subjecs, but, unfortunately, there too many mistakes in this book.
I started with the chapter on "Collaborations with Symphony Orchestras", where "Zappa In New York" is given as an example ;
The same chapter mentions: In 1984, Zappa collaborated with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra for a series of concerts in Europe.

Probably written by some sort of AI.
Rubbish.
