Great stuff! ^King Crimson Jean Luc Ponty
You look at genius like Robert Fripp , Duke , Bozzio , Stanley Clark , John McLaughlin etc ..
Well, good stuff for sure. I saw Zappa in 1975 at the Capital Theater in Passiac NJ.
That was the last so-called rock concert that I ever attended. Elvin Bishop was on the bill also...hahaha...
George Duke, Jean Luc-Ponty, Ruth Underwood, Napoleon Murphy Brock, the Fowler Bros. Wow...what a band. Mesmerizing performance.
At the time, largely because of Zappa I was becoming interested in various types of fusion...Weather Report, Return to Forever, The Crusaders, Michael Frank, Lee Ritenouer, Larry Carlton, Miles Davis, Larry Coryell, John McLaughlin and many more.
Zappa changed my musical life, and after a few more years I found myself listening to classical music more and more...Berlioz, Stravinsky, Chopin, Varese, Copeland, Mozart, Beethoven, Mussorgsky,
Shostakovitch and many more.
Thank you Frank, you have enriched my musical life.
Great stuff! ^
I would like to say I seen King Crimson back in the early days at The Greek Theater
in Los Angeles it was Tony Levin's birthday that night and they toasted champagne
on stage btw songs.
For a Genesis Concert at The Forum in Los Angeles back in the day, I had good seats
and my one bud got kicked out of his seat next to me only for Robert Fripp to sit down
next to me for the 2nd half of the concert. He sat down next to me when Bill Bruford came out on stage
for Lamb Lies Down On Broadway so there was 3 drummers on stage. Chester Thomson, Phil Collins & Bill Bruford all played drums simistanously. Apparently Robert was there to see Bill Bruford. My best bud sat down in the row in front of me down a few seats close to Tony Levin.
Robert Fripp reached down under his seat and pulled a Genesis concert guide out and asked
me if I wanted it and needless to say how could I turn him down so I took it and said thanks
to him. The guide was apparently under his seat before any of us sat down for the concert.
What a fucking trippy night that was!
Seen Jean Luc Ponty at Dontai's Jazz Club in NoHo back in the day as well with
Jeff Berlin on bass that I met cause he taught at a music school in Studio City, Cali that my best bud was a student at.
