Music is the best. Frank Zappa.
Drummer: I can do this all day....
Amazing job! You are a fantastic drummer sir and thanks for honoring FZ with this rendition.
NICE!! As I remember FZ, he was a professional first and very critical of accuracy in his works. I'm glad Mr. Haas gave that respects back to the public in 2020. Remembering that FZ got to work with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1983 and 87 and that is true musicianship.
FZ only worked with LSO in 1983. The second volume of recordings from that same session came out in 1987.
Wow! I think Frank would be very pleased with that!
I'm sure Moon Unit is.
Way to go! And thank you for including the easy, teenage NY version
Of the many instrumental favourites of Franks, this is one. I really mean that too.
Wow, awesome performance!
I saw an absolutely wonderful ensemble group play some variation in Melbourne Australia, in the most intimate of settings, fitting in as we could near the musicians. I could hear and see their joy in the music, a moment to reflect on in my life. Seen with my very best friends, Zappatista all.
I played kit on this as an undergrad. As an ensemble we tackled this 2 to 4 measures a week. 25 years later, I still think it might be the most influential piece on my career. Not that I’m playing insanely dense polyrhythms every day. But it was the experience of learning such a work. Great job!
Awesome...
I have studied BP#2 in advance of writing guitar solos. When I read through it enough times, the rhythmic sensibilties start to seep into me and inform my licks.
Fab. The amount of concentration and skill needed perform this music 🎶 is very high.
It’s only a one-shot deal
💯

AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!!! Thanks for posting this!!!
the most sparkling, precious hidden gem across the internet people, here it is The Black Page"
And what does Terry Bozzio have to say about that? One of the best interpretations of Black Page I have ever seen and heard. Congrats!
WOW... JUST WOW
Mind blowing. Good stuff.
Excellent!!! "Did anybody dance?" -FZ
Well that took some practice.....can't fake this. Outstanding
You all did a stellar job, Frank would be proud! You are only the second band, other than ones with a Zappa in it, that I have ever seen perform either parts.
Yeah, where's Dweezel, and the mighty moon unit, Ahmet...
A real toe tapper
I saw FRANK Zappa play a bicycle on the I've got a SECRET SHOW , ON TV in the 60 's then in the early 80 's
Washington UNIVERSITY IN ST.LOUIS MO.( TESLA ) - ZAPPA GENIUS IN 🎶
Wow!!
Great performance. Congratulations to all.
Wow! That means a lot coming from you. Thanks for listening!
@@declanhayden we have played the black page in Percussion ensemble and I have used it as an audition piece. I may steel your idea with the dialogue which was right from Zappa’s dialogue. Perhaps with a Zappa like voice. You got me thinking and your playing was smooth as butter. Thanks.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frank watches this from where ever he is and he putting his thumb up.
Lemme see your thumb 👍
Outrageous! Great job!
📣Super well done🎼🥁🎶🎶🎵
When something of amazing quality and substance, something exceptional and extraordinary comes along, it will always find its place winding through culture and time.
Was always a fan of Frank Zappa’s instrumental music. Black Pages was one of the more interesting and at the same time very challenging. This version was great.
holy moly...great performance
Nicely done!! Music is the best
It really cleans out the S-bend on a cloudy day.
tnx for lovin zappa f ing brilliant
yes !
Outstanding!
A thumbs up for the effort (and the dedication it takes). I had the chance to hear a performance of this magistral piece, live, in 88 (with the full schembang ,the entire band of that era). It left an indelible mark on mi mind. Probably the best concert I've ever been to!
ps I love the version in 'Make a Jazz noise here'
"That was fine. Now, take it from the top, this time without mistakes; you know who you are." Come on now, just close your eyes and imagine......that's exactly what he would have said. Then, everyone would have a laugh and happily carried on......... There hasn't been a musical good time like that since he left us. Proving that humor did belong there, and that his manuscripts are never complete without it. That was his secret; to be so meticulously serious, but never took himself or his compositions too seriously....... I guess you just had to be there.
Bravo! Incredible rendition of a complicated piece.... you made that basic Yamaha kit sound excellent too! A masterclass of musicianship.....
Wow, thanks for the kind words! Really glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@declanhaydenyou make me feel slightly.... rusty...

Something to be Proud of.
easy to dance to
You heard the teenage New York version?
And the melodies are catchy
I already loved her when she managed to dance to Inca Roads a little :D - and then she totally blew me from my chair at the start of Uncle Remus. I mean, that's singing all the way from your TOES, woman! :D
Pero, ¿¿qué maravilla es esta?? Me emociona cómo músicos jóvenes de conservatorio tocan tan bien la música del genio del siglo XX.
Holy fuck! That was great!!!😮
look at those feldman mallets
Is it ridiculous? Certainly!
Is it majestically awesome in in it's execution, causing one to be transfixed at the sight of it?? Oh, HELL YEAH!!
wow
Great googly moogly...😎
Nice username, friend!
This is probably the best version of the black page I’ve ever heard. Almost better then Bozio
Of all the really positive comments on this video, this one is by far the most generous. Really appreciate it, brother. Thank you for listening. 🙏🏼
Frank would be Proud.
