"Frank Zappa was a drummer (at age twelve) and composer (writing a\nstring quartet in his teens) before he got serious about the\nguitar. But in his more than four decades on stage and record,\nZappa &amp;mdash; who died in 1993 &amp;mdash; soloed with the same\ndiscipline and experimental appetite that he applied to the rest of\nhis protean legacy: symphonies, doo-wop parody, big-band fusion,\nsociopolitical satire. For a man who ran his Mothers of Invention\nwith an iron fist, Zappa was actually a joyful improviser who\ncombined the melodic rigor of his orchestral ideals with the dirty,\nfrenzied pith of his earliest love, 1950s R&amp;amp;B. He also came up\nwith the best instrumental titles in the business, including\n\"Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin\" and\n\"In-A-Gadda-Stravinsky.\" \n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
