Frank Zappa, ascolta la colonna sonora del documentario ‘Zappa’ con inediti

Oggi - 27 novembre - ha finalmente visto la luce il documentario di Alex Winter su Frank Zappa. La pellicola sul chitarrista di Baltimora, intitolata “Zappa” e diretta dall’attore e regista statunitense - che nel corso della sua carriera ha, tra le altre cose, avuto una piccola parte in "Ragazzi perduti", ha affiancato Keanu Reeves nei due film per ragazzi "Bill & Ted" e "Un mitico viaggio", e ha diretto alcuni documentari (“Downloaded,” “Deep Web” e “Smosh: The Movie”) -, è disponibile da oggi negli Stati Uniti sulle principali piattaforme di video e film in streaming. In Italia sarà possibile vedere il film on demand il prossimo anno. In attesa dell’uscita di “Zappa” nel nostro Paese, sempre dalla giornata odierna

è disponibile per lo streaming e il download la colonna sonora del documentario che include 68 tracce, tra cui 12 registrazioni inedite tratte dagli archivi realizzate - per esempio - durante le esibizioni di Frank Zappa al Whisky a Go Go nel 1968, al Fillmore West nel 1970 e durante una puntata del “Saturday Night Live” nel 1978. La pubblicazione contiene anche due composizioni di musica classica di Zappa ispirate da Edgard Varese e Igor Stravinsky, diversi estratti da interviste e 26 tracce originali composte per il lungometraggio da John Frizzell.

La versione fisica di 3 CD dell’album “Zappa Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” arriverà nei negozi il prossimo 19 febbraio. Dal 7 maggio 2021 il disco della colonna sonora del documentario su Frank Zappa sarà disponibile anche in vinile: usciranno due box set di 5 LP in edizione limitata, uno con vinile nero e uno con vinile colorato, e una versione con 2 LP. A partire da maggio dell’anno venturo il disco della colonna sonora del documentario su Frank Zappa sarà disponibile anche in tre versioni in vinile: due super deluxe con 5 LP, di colore nero in una e colorati nell’altra, e un’edizione con 2 LP.
