艺术家介绍：

弗兰克·扎帕原名弗兰克·文森特·扎帕（Frank Vincent Zappa），1940年生于巴尔的摩，是美国六十年代摇滚乐发展史上的先锋人物之一。1960年出版了第一张唱片，不过是为一部电影做的插曲。随后他又为电影配乐使得他有钱自己买了一间录音棚。1964年他和与他共事的乐手组成了一支乐队“Mothers”。1966年乐队推出了双专辑《Freak Out!》。体现了乐队“嬉皮“的风格，也使人们对他们有了更深的印象。在这张专辑中，扎帕在录音方面比同时期的其他乐手到要先进。1966年出版专辑《Absoulately Free》，1967年出版专辑《We’re Only In It For the Money》。1969年出版个人专辑《Hot Rats》，这张专辑使他获得了“出色的爵士摇滚音乐家”的称号。在此后的多张专辑中他尝试了多样的主题和手法，使专辑呈现出不同的特色。1968年他与他的经理人组建了自己唱片公司，并推出一些亲手提拔的一些乐队。在此后推出了一些个人专辑如1975年的《Bongo Fury》，1978的《Zappa in New》。此后，扎帕解除了同公司的合同并建立了自己的公司Zappa。1979年推出了经典作品《Joe’s Garage Act I》《Joe’s Garage Act II & III》。到了八十年代他几乎每年都出一张专辑，并写了一部音乐剧和一部卡通片。虽然也有失败的地方，但他依然被公认为是一位摇滚大师。1991年扎帕被查出患有癌症，但他依然不停的出专辑直到他1993年12月去世。^[1]

专辑介绍：

Aside from the experimental side project Lumpy Gravy, Hot Rats was the first album Frank Zappa recorded as a solo artist sans the Mothers, though he continued to employ previous musical collaborators, most notably multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood. Other than another side project — the doo wop tribute Cruising With Ruben and the Jets — Hot Rats was also the first time Zappa focused his efforts in one general area, namely jazz-rock. The result is a classic of the genre. Hot Rats’ genius lies in the way it fuses the compositional sophistication of jazz with rock’s down-and-dirty attitude — there’s a real looseness and grit to the three lengthy jams, and a surprising, wry elegance to the three shorter, tightly arranged numbers (particularly the sumptuous “Peaches en Regalia”). Perhaps the biggest revelation isn’t the straightforward presentation, or the intricately shifting instrumental voices in Zappa’s arrangements — it’s his own virtuosity on the electric guitar, recorded during extended improvisational workouts for the first time here. His wonderfully scuzzy, distorted tone is an especially good fit on “Willie the Pimp,” with its greasy blues riffs and guest vocalist Captain Beefheart’s Howlin’ Wolf theatrics. Elsewhere, his skill as a melodist was in full flower, whether dominating an entire piece or providing a memorable theme as a jumping-off point. In addition to Underwood, the backing band featured contributions from Jean-Luc Ponty, Lowell George, and Don “Sugarcane” Harris, among others; still, Zappa is unquestionably the star of the show. Hot Rats still sizzles; few albums originating on the rock side of jazz-rock fusion flowed so freely between both sides of the equation, or achieved such unwavering excitement and energy.
