The legendary rock composer is celebrated during week's events
Frank Zappa's varied and prolific career will be the focus of a week-long series of events at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum starting February 13.
Several musicians including guitarist Adrian Belew and longtime Zappa sideman Ike Willis will help celebrate his legacy, which includes 60 albums-worth of material.
Zappa's compositions spanned several genres including rock, jazz, classical and avante-garde, and he has been called the most prolific musician of his generation.
The events kick off on February 13 with an evening featuring musicians and authors who worked with Zappa including Paul Zollo and Tomas Ulrich.
On February 15, Grammy-nominated guitarist Belew, who has worked with Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, and Talking Heads in addition to Zappa, will pay tribute to the artist. Concluding the week's events, the Red orchestra will present a concert entitled 'The Importance of Being Zappa'.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
Many events are free and open to the public, but space must be reserved.

Is anyone planning to attend any of these? Feel free to say “Yes!” and rub it in…
Eso!

Yep, we’ll be there for both shows and everyone should hang around Ohio for an extra two days because the Adrian Belew Power Trio will not only be performing at the Canal Street Tavern in Dayton, Ohio on Friday, February 16, it will be a warm up for the Saturday night show at The Southgate House, a haunted mansion in Newport, Kentucky, where the trio will record Ade’s latest CD, Side Four Live, in front of a packed, hometown (Ade grew up there) town! So you can not only hear a week of great shows honoring Mr. Zappa, you can be part of the screaming audience heard on Ade’s new CD Saturday, February 17.
