I desember 1993 skjedde det alle Zappa-fans hadde ventet på en stund, Frank Zappa døde av prostatakreft, kun 53 år gammel.  Siden starten i 1966 med "Freak Out!" hadde han vært ansvarlig for en enorm produksjon hvorav de første ni årene stort sett med gruppen "The Mothers of Invention" pluss en enkeltutgivelse sammen med hans gamle studiekamerat Captain Beefheart. Som gitarist må Zappa regnes som en av historiens beste. Hans hule, brummende stemme spyr ut slibrigheter i et rasende tempo akkompagnert av et uhyre dyktig band. Om det er vakkert kan sikkert diskuteres men effektfullt er det. Han har forøvrig brukt et utall andre vokalister, med blandet suksess. Musikken var uhyre komplisert og musikerne han valgte å ta inn i sitt band måtte gjennom harde tester før de ble godkjent.  Han komponerte også større verk for orkester og sto selv for dirigeringen.  Det vil være umulig å gi Zappas musikk en ensartet karakteristikk, han er gjerne innom både pop, rock og jazz i samme låt. Zappas band var alltid utstyrt med et utall av instrumenter. I tillegg til de mer tradisjonelle instrumentene som gitar, keyboard, trommer og bass benyttet han gjerne en rekke blåsere og rytmeinstrumenter.  Marimba og fagott ga musikken et spesielt sound på 70-tallet. Tekstene var sterkt ironiske og samfunnskritiske. Zappa var aldri redd for å si hva han mente, oftest svært direkte, noe som var et stort problem for amerikanske besteborgere og moralvoktere.  "Frank Zappa Meets The Mothers of Prevention" fra 1986 er en platetittel som sier sitt om hvilke følelser han hadde for disse.  Han hadde også klare politiske meninger og vurderte en gang å stille som demokratisk presidentkandidat, han hatet republikanere. "Motherfuckers" ble ofte omskrevet til "Republicans" i konsertsammenheng.  Zappa var lynende intelligent og stilte ofte til debatter hvor han benyttet anledningen til å rakke ned på samfunnets "søppel" (dobbeltmoralistiske, besteborgerlige republikanere).  Han var også beryktet for sine sanger med sterkt seksuelle tekster, på grensen til pornografi etter manges mening.  Humor var dessuten et hyppig benyttet virkemiddel, på plate så vel som på scenen. Hans musikalske høydepunkt kom etter manges mening i 1973 med "Over-nite Sensation" og fortsatte forsåvidt med "Apostrophe", "Roxy & Elsewhere" og "One Size Fits All" de neste to årene. Etter dette ble Zappa noe mer lettfordøyelig, for den store skare lyttere, med enklere sanger. Dette gikk likevel aldri ut over musikkens høye tekniske kvalitet.  Fra og med 1988 begynte Zappa å pøse ut plater med hovedsakelig live-opptak fra hele hans karriere, og dette har tildels fortsatt etter hans død. Zappas familie sitter visstnok på et enormt materiale med innspillinger og planlegger fortsatt fremtidige utgivelser, til stor glede for en fortsatt stor tilhengerskare.  Konsertopptak på video og DVD har til nå vært en mangelvare men nå ryktes det at enkefru-Zappa planlegger å slippe en del materiale for DVD-markedet. På tide!  I live får jeg aldri oppleve Zappa så en DVD eller to får være en liten trøst...
I en del år har flere av de originale Mothers-medlemmene, med Napoleon Murphy Brock, Don Preston og Roy Estrada i spissen, turnert og fremført gamle Mothers-låter. Liveinnspillingen "A Grandmothers Night At The Gewandhaus" ble sluppet på CD i 2003 og demonstrerer at det fortsatt er spenst i gamlekara. Navnet var forandret fra "The Mothers of Invention" til "The Grandmothers". 29. april 2006 var de å se på Folken i Stavanger hvor de fremførte en glimrende konsert og "The Grandmothers" var nå endret til "The Grande Mothers".

The Grande Mothers
Bildet er tjuvlånt fra http://www.thegrandmothers.com/ Foto av Christopher  Grisanti

I over to og en halv time fikk fikk jeg gleden av å oppleve det legendariske bandet The Mothers of Invention (nå med navnet The Grande Mothers) på Folken i Stavanger lørdag 29. april. Mothers er best kjent som Zappas backingband på 60- og 70-tallet. Her fikk vi se og høre tre av Mothers' opprinnelige bandmedlemmer (Napoleon Murphy Brock, Roy Estrada og Don Preston) i tillegg til to ukjente musikere (Miroslav Tadic og Christopher Garcia). Vi fikk oppleve en forrykende konsert av et sett eminente musikere som spilte høydepunkter fra Mothers' storhetstid. Låter som Montana, I Am The Slime, San Ber'dino, Andy, Sofa #1 og Florentine Pogen ble fremført med en spilleglede og presisjon man skal lete lenge etter. Kun to ting var savnet, flere låter fra deres kanskje beste album Over-nite Sensation og selvfølgelig Frank Zappa selv!

Beat The Boots
(1991) 6 LP + 2 DBL-LP Box (3/5)
Zappa hatet bootleindustrien og ville med denne utgivelsen selv tjene penger på disse piratplatene. Derfor behandlet han dem i sitt eget lydstudio og ga dem ut i form av denne boksen.  I tillegg til åtte LP'er finner man også en t-skjorte og en pin med Zappamotiv i boksen. Lp'ene presenteres nedenfor med innhold.  Sangtitlene kan avvike noe fra originalene mht stavemåte! Dette er ofte et bootlegproblem.
