It is an exceedingly strange overlapping of cultural eras, and big thanks to DW for pointing to it.
As in so many other cultural spheres, YouTube boasts a treasure trove of material pertaining to Frank Zappa's varied and all too short career in music. I recommend taking time to watch some of the videos available there, especially those dealing with Zappa's eclectic musical influences. There was little room for improvisation in Zappa's output; almost all of it was scripted and written in advance, and as such, he surely must be regarded as one of the great American composers.
