StLJN Saturday at the Movies:
"Zappa Plays Zappa," plus Peter White
Following more or less in the footsteps of the previous post, this week's Saturday video double feature once again utilizes the magic of YouTube to preview a couple of events that are coming soon to St. Louis. The first clip is some live performance footage of smooth jazz guitarist Peter White, who's bringing his Christmas show with Rick Braun and Mindy Abair to The Pageant on Wednesday, November 29 as part of Rick Sanborn's "Smooth Holiday Party".
Clip #2 is from the "Zappa Plays Zappa" tour, which features Frank's son Dweezil leading a repertory band augmented by special guests Steve Vai, Terry Bozzio and Napoleon Murphy Brock. The ZPZ tour hits The Pageant on Thuesday, December 14 and this clip, recorded on tour in June at the Manchester Apollo in Manchester, UK, blends the band's live performance with a rear-screen projection of some vintage footage of FZ soloing on "Chunga's Revenge." The present day composer refuses to die!

Hello friend, you may not have heard of my band:
"Nightmare Patrol"
We play all instrumental music (which i wish was more popular than it is!)
here's a link of us on the "Backpage", a page from "River Front Times"
http://tinyurl.com/yk5dcd
We are a Jazz Rock Fusion Trio
We cover M.Davis, T.Monk, Jaco, Mahavishnu, Brand X, B.Cobham/T.Bolin, King Crimson, Frank, Zappa, Satriani, Santana, Weather Report, Greg Koch, Shane Theriot, Surf, Jazz Standards, Originals..etc..
Perhaps you could come see us, when we get another gig, were not that much on management material, so making bookings & setting up gig's is not our main platform, we specialize in playing music.
If you could help us in that department, we would surely put on a nice show for you.
Hey Dean- Just found your blog and have to say I'm really enjoying it. It will be a daily read for sure!
