@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.

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!

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

[bigtone1348]

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

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.
