NEW BOOK ON ZAPPA

Chris Wade recently surprised us with "The Music Of Captain Beefheart", a 50-page book that walked us through the Captain Beefheart discography. Including various interviews.
I thought it was OK.

And now there's, "The Music Of Frank Zappa".
100 pages and subtitled "1966- 1976", so it looks like this is the first tome.
Of at least three volumes, I would guess.

KAZUTOKI UMEZU KIKI BAND - LAND DIZZY

• kazutoki umezu kiki band: land dizzy
      (2002, cd, japan, ewe records ewcd-0053)

Kazutoki Umezu's Kiki band performed at Zappanale #24, August 2013.
They did an amazing concert.

The albums that they had brought along, sold pretty well. I bought the complete package. A beautiful and great sounding set.
Too bad that one of the albums, "Land Dizzy", was already out of print.
A couple of weeks ago, browsing the internet, I finally found a second-hand copy of "Land Dizzy".
Listening to it right now.
Fabulous.
