“Released just in time for Frank Zappa's favorite holiday, Halloween. Roxy: The Movie is a stunning homage to one of unpopular music's most fearless musicians.”
A Frank Zappa show goes way beyond a mere concert – it is an experience…a flight of improvisation musicianship and cerebral cynicism. An unparalleled Composer and Guitarist Zappa redefined rock n roll paradigms by introducing into the mix his favorite influences from classical music jazz blues doowop traditional and non-traditional music. And he did so with unparalleled humor and audacity. But it was the music itself that influenced generations of musicians and quite frankly blew minds. Roxy: The Movie filmed over three nights in December 1973 at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood CA is a powerful display of this experience and reveals what made him such a pioneering musical revolutionary.
