Frankly Speaking: Zappa tales and other stories from the maestros musicians

Frankly Speaking is a collection of ten transcribed interviews with alumni who played/recorded with the legendary Frank Zappa in his many group incarnations he had over the decades. Some played with Frank for a short time, some were with him through several seasons. Franks music is regarded as some of the most challenging to play in "rock" and it took highly skilled musicians to pull off his musical visions. Zappa was a guy who knew what he wanted out of a musician and could often tell, sometimes within 30 seconds, if they were the right person musician-wise and personality wise up for the task. It is truly an honor for a musician to be part of Zappas grand work which he called his "Project/Object". This book shines the spotlight on his alumni, some more well known than others in Zappas universe.
