Search - Grandmothers :: Grandmothers Night at the Gewandhaus

Zappa: A Grandmothers Night at the Gewandhaus is a live album recorded in 2003 by The Grandmothers, honoring the 10th anniversary of the death of Composer Frank Zappa, in 1993. The Grandmothers are comprised of three legendary members of the original Mothers of Invention: Don Preston, Bunk Gardner and Roy Estrada. The fourth was Napoleon M. Brock. Ken Rosser and Chris Garcia joined as new Grandmothers to make up an energetic sextet. The first part of this historic concert saw The Grandmothers presenting Grandmother's classics as well as new compositions. This was followed by the band playing Zappa classics from the "classic era" of The Mothers of Invention.
