From
Wikipedia
Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993)
was an American composer, guitarist, singer, film director, and satirist.
In his 33-year career as a professional musician, Frank Zappa established
himself as one of the most prolific and distinctive musician-composer-band
leaders of his era. Zappa worked in almost every musical genre and wrote
music for rock bands, jazz ensembles, synthesisers and symphony orchestra,
as well as radiophonic works constructed from pre-recorded, synthesised
or sampled sources. He wrote and recorded hundreds of musical works, spread
over almost sixty albums released during his lifetime (plus several posthumous
releases). Although he only occasionally achieved major commercial success
— his first gold album award was Apostrophe in 1974 — he maintained
a highly productive career that encompassed composing, recording, touring,
producing and merchandising his own and others' music, as well as many
other business and creative activities. He received multiple Grammy nominations
and won a Grammy award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1987
for his avant-garde instrumental LP Jazz From Hell. In addition to his
music recordings, he created feature-length and short films, music videos,
graphic art, album covers.

Frank Zappa surely would have appreciated -- indeed, relished -- the irony
! that his death last week was, as the old show-biz line has it, a shrewd
career move.
