Frank Zappa was an unremitting musical innovator and experimenter, always looking for ways to exploit the latest advances in technology. His working life coincided with the explosive development of music technology that ran from the 1960s through the following three decades. Without such inventions as the Marshall amplifier, the Gibson SG, the wah-wah pedal, and the Synclavier much of it modified to his requirements and used in ways for which they had never been designed Zappa s air sculptures, as his music has been described, would have had a significantly different shape and texture. Lavishly illustrated including over 180 unique photographs of Frank Zappa s guitars and equipment taken by the author at his UMRK studio in LA and featuring a foreword by Dweezil Zappa Zappa s Gear offers an unprecedented inside look at the machinery behind the legendary music. In addition to a detailed presentation of the equipment, Zappa s Gear also introduces some of the pioneering inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs without whom the instruments would not exist. Zappa s Gear is an official Frank Zappa book produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust.

A portrait of the inner workings of the maestro emerges through these extensive conversations conducted by the author over a period of 20 years together with other firsthand recollections. These accounts clarify Toscanini's philosophy musical style and techniques. They depict a man tormented by inner demons of anger and depression which were easily triggered by his frustration at being unable to produce the musical ideal in his mind's ear.ÞToscanini is also revealed as a vehement anti-Fascist and an unequivocal opponent of totalitarianism and racism ä he defied Mussolini and publically opposed Hitler. The book includes a comprehensive account of his 1936 inauguration of what is now known as the Israel Philharmonic in solidarity with Jewish refugee musicians.ÞToscanini comes through in this book as a tortured but deeply humane individual who strove to constantly improve ä a sincere and humble musician who was nevertheless the preeminent maestro of the 20th century.

In 1971 John McEuen was the force behind the gathering of legendary Nashville bluegrass musicians who joined with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, a Southern California country-rock-jug band to create Will the Circle Be Unbroken, which Rolling Stone magazine declared to be "the most important album to come out of Nashville." This landmark album celebrates its fiftieth year in March 2022, and McEuen tells the story of the making of the album, discusses each of its thirty-eight songs, and includes never-before-seen photos taken by the author and his brother Bill McEuen, who produced the album. After the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's cover of "Mr. Bojangles" became a surprise hit, McEuen asked Earl Scruggs if he would join the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on an album. Scruggs said yes—as did Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Vassar Clements, Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, and other country stars. For six days in the summer of 1971, the musicians sat in a circle facing one another, recording country and bluegrass standards in East Nashville's Woodland Studios. From it came the triple-disc set, Will the Circle Be Unbroken—one of the most iconic albums in country music history. It has played a prominent role in what is now called Americana music. Now, after fifty years, John McEuen invites readers to sit next to him in the circle and listen to the music.
