At the end of the 1960s, Frank Zappa disbanded the Mothers of Invention and set his sights on a solo career. He recorded one album, the jazz-inflected Hot Rats, and set about following it up with a similar record. Those sessions never yielded a fully realized LP but did contain a number of completed compositions and jams. Recently uncovered by Zappa archivist Joe Travers those sessions will be released as Funky Nothingness this summer. We’ll hear some selections from that effort on this episode as well as music from the new live release from Bob Dylan, Shadow Kingdom.
