[edusenx]

It says he played in the first 60´s albums of FZ & the mothers, tune your ears.

[Knoxoleum]

I love Jimmy Carl Black and Frank Zappa

[MindHead77]

Did Ellington screw his band so badly, or are the Zappa family using the always-convenient-never-outdat­ed 'work for hire' model? Makes you wonder. RIP, JCB.

2:23 "...as he promotes his new album 'Crush All Boxes'"

crush all boxes was never released. it's songs were released on You are what You Is and Tinsel Town Rebellion, but they are alternative takes and mixes.

CAB was released as part of the Beat the Boots series, though from what I can tell, it's a completely different album.

jimmy was working in a record store?

[boogster123321]

well he was in when frank wasnt as big as he was later on. and if you look at the early mothers members, where are those guys? you dont hear anything about bunk gardner or ray collins anymore

[TheSpoonFedFukWit]

wasn't knocking him for it we all gotta make ends meet. i guess i sometimes forget my heroes aren't everyone elses . I would of thought he could of made a good living on making appearance's alone.

Ray Collins went back to carpentry and who knows what happened to Bunk Gardner; I think he's into photography now. Buzz Gardner died, as did JCB, Frank, Lowell George, Don Harris, and Beefheart. It's weird, knowing such a large part of that band is gone. :-(

[boogster123321]

@5jerry1 well it has been over 40 years ago

[5jerry1]

@boogster123321

True; but it's just kind of sad when one of your favorite bands has so many dead former members.

Though The Jimi Hendrix Experience is the only contemporary rock band that comes to mind which has NO surviving members. It's a reminder of our mortality.

[boogster123321]

@5jerry1 very true

RIP Jimmy say hi to FZ, nice to see you guys are back together

[whysofuckingbad]

R.I.P. Jimmy

[skaboutervisscher]

Rest in peace jimmy

[alyandajdrakebell]

this guy is a true hero who got screwed out of his royalties, and kept touring promoting the mothers music.where the fuck is gail in his time of need? shrewrepair you blow donkey's dick you and the whole z clan!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doohdoohhead]

TOTALLY agree.

Imagine Roy Estrada, original Mother, founded Little Feat with Lowell George, played with Beefheart and is just an average guy somewhere now. The Mothers influenced their era, their rock contemporaries and by association all of history and they didnt end up with the recognition they deserve.

RIP the indian of the group

[r04chf4c3]

RIGHT!! and what about Eric Estrada from CHIPS? someone give that guy some credit!!

RIP cowboy bert

[shrewrepair]

took this guy two weeks to learn a drum fill on anyway the wind blows
