IA ME ESQUECENDO. MUITO OBRIGADO SENHOR ROLFSOLVANG!

[KIMORID]

Sou do Brasil. Tinhamos que trabalhar muito para comprar os discos do JLP| importados dos EUA. Eu sou considerado entre os amigos um dos mais ecléticos em música tanto em São Paulo como em Ribeirão Preto. Ora, sou mais ousado aqui: Acho que lembrar-se-ão de JLP como o Mozart do Século XX! Um beijão Ribeirão Preto e Goiânia!

Acá el que la lleva es claramente el bajista.Grande Zappa y grande Ponty, dos de los mejores y mas grandes músicos contemporáneos y de todos los tiempos.

King Kong, Eb minor. an impossible key, right on the money. brilliant!

Considering they did not get on, Jean Luc treats Frank's work with respect & dignity.

[rodcrippler]

@bigtone1348 he respected his music, he even did a solo album dedicated to Zappa's works, and I think that was before Zappa hired him in his band.

Great to see that Jean-Luc's still got the 'touch', 41 years after the original recording....Amazing! Wish the audience wasn't talking tho.

[weemalky]

I like the looping. I'm sure Zappa would have approved. A friend lent me the King Kong album and I loved it.

[Hutchentoot]

JLP is amazing. And the material he was playing was from pure genius. The combo is priceless. Listen and enjoy thyself.

Dec. 21, 1940-2010 happy Bday to Frank , and this piece still sounds fresh... Thanx for the enjoyment ...Long Live Frank.......and captain Beefheart....Fruno

Thank you Rolf! This is like spiritual food for me.

Thank you so much for posting this. King Kong is one of my favorite albums especially 20 Small Cigars! I am pleased to see John-Luc Ponty is still going strong. I haven't heard much about him since the 70s.
