Where to Start with Frank Zappa
The work of Frank Zappa spans three decades and contains 60 plus albums. On top of all that, he is completely unique compared to most rock musicians that came out of the 60’s and 70’s. A “Where to Start” playlist seems very necessary for one to dive into the ingenious world of Zappa.

Glow – Alice Phoebe Lou
Glow is a masterpiece in my humble opinion, and I don’t think I really want to try and tell you about the music, because it simply has to be heard.
Never Disappear – Brian Marquis
Brian is a close friend and an amazing singer and songwriter. I’m glad to be able to include him on my playlist and love this record.
Spain – Return To Forever
RIP Chick Corea. A great song from an incredible band.
Remembering – Avishai Cohen
Avishai Cohen is one of my favourite composers due to his artistic sensibility and versatility. Jazz, Classical, Pop… who cares…? I believe his music transcends genres and hits directly where it should.

The Healer – Noah Baerman with Ron Carter and Ben Riley
I’m writing this at the end of March – typically the time when students are turning their minds to final exams and beginning to get into a writing groove. I know this because April and May are peak streaming months for instrumental music.
You’d think that with the Covid 19 nightmare things would be a little different this year – but apparently no – students may not be going into school, but assignments are still in place and exams are looming.
