Halloween was Frank Zappa’s favorite holiday, and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! Come experience Zappa in his element - this film was recorded at The Palladium in New York City on October 31, 1981. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, pop, jazz, fusion, and orchestral works; he additionally produced nearly all of the 60-plus albums he released with his band, The Mothers of Invention, and as a solo artist. His work is characterized by nonconformity, improvisation, sound experimentation, and musical virtuosity. He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse musicians of his generation. 116 minutes. Light refreshments will be served. https://norfolkpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/concert-film-series-frank-zappa/
