Director’s Notes:
When I was 11 or 12 years old and just starting to learn the guitar, I came across my uncle's vinyl of Joe's Garage Acts II & III by Frank Zappa. That record changed my life, and it changed my understanding of what music could be. I copied it onto cassette and played it constantly, poring over every detail. It was the beginning of what can only be described as a Frank Zappa obsession.
But, Frank died way too soon and I never got to see him perform live.
Fast forward to 2006. Dweezil Zappa announced that he had formed a band and was going on tour to play his dad's music. My wife and I flew to the west coast and caught Dweezil's shows in Vegas, Anaheim, and L.A. The shows were incredible--I never got to see Frank, but thanks to Dweezil and his band I got to see the music that I loved performed brilliantly live in concert.
A few years later I became the director of the UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra and thought that if we could bring a little bit of the magic that is a live performance of Frank Zappa's music to Hilo, that would be a dream come true. On December 12th, 2013 we performed our first Frank Zappa tribute concert at the UH Hilo Performing Arts Center. And, we've been doing it every year since.
Last November we received an email from Dweezil Zappa's manager that said:
...LOVE that you’re putting on a Frank Tribute Concert. Dweezil has taken notice; he’s been honoring his dad’s music for over a decade, touring his music worldwide. If the orchestra has plans for 2017, can we talk about getting him involved?
I am beyond excited to share the music of Frank Zappa for the fifth time with you, our audience. I am thrilled to share the UH Hilo Performing Arts Center stage tonight with the current UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra, and visiting alumni band members. And I am also thoroughly honored to share the stage with an incredible composer, guitarist, band leader, and son dedicated to sharing the legacy of his father’s music with the world, Dweezil Zappa.
I would like to acknowledge the following people for their invaluable contributions to this show:
Mahalo
Dweezil and Megan Zappa; Josh Timmons; Lee Dombroski, Rob Abe, Dori Yamada & the staff and crew at the UH Hilo Performing Arts Center; Ariana Bassett, Michael Marshall, & the UH Hilo Performing Arts Dept.; Steve Roby and BigIslandMusic.net, Lynn Richardson; Craig Mori and Pacific Sound; John Burnett, Hollyn Johnson, David Bock & The Hawaii Tribune-Herald; Lilinoe Kauahikaua, Chris Leonard, Darrin Carson & B97/KWXX; Michael Janovsky, Steven Smith, and everybody who has supported UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra over the years!
Frank Zappa's music should be a part of every child's curriculum at every school world wide.
Mayumi Long! What a great singer.
Mahalo for this jubilant celebration. Great music performed by great musicians and a wonderful program, lotta love to Dweezil everyone involved. Simply wonderful.
My goodness. The zomby woof sure is gorgeous. Great show folks. I have been listening to Zappa since about 77.
Yeah same here.. I first heard Frank Zappa 1967 when my big Brother bought… I record… still dear to my heart

@@philouze1815 That's Black Napkins at 16:30 NOT Zoot Allures
@@bulkvanderhuge9006 The original post said Zoot. The guy has edited it since.
I guess I should edit mine now!! Ha ha!!
Oh and hey, Happy 2024 🙂
@@philouze1815 Oh ok, I see, a double correction lol.
Thank you, zappa forever. The modern composer refuses to die. 🙏
Awesome !
Wonderful concert, and Dweezil plays with such relaxed pleasure and affection for the music experience.
This was great.
very very few people in the world could do something like this, amazing ensamble
Superb!!!! Hats to!!!!! Greeetings from Brasil 🇧🇷
Amazing performance. The talent on display here is astounding. I know its sacrilegious, but I like some of these covers better than the originals;
psst... check out the mind-blowing guitar / violin duel at around the 2 hr mark.
The world is better off now. The Hawaiian islands have progressed much further; the Big Kahuna Dweezil has come, looked upon it, and seen that it good. Optimism for the world is brighter now. Seeing, hearing is believing, I heard the angel say.
Finest 2 hours and 20 minutes of music I have heard and enjoyed, for a very long time...... Brilliant show/tribute/interpretation from beginning to end.
Absolutely brilliant!!
*Extremely tight. Hilo for Frank.*

Great job, HJO!! UHH & Trevor are among the greatest supports we have for Zappa’s music! Seeing Dweezil here with you makes it even sweeter!
outstanding this is 😍
that's great!
The Valley Girl female Vocals were on point. Nice work
que du plaisir !
EVERYONE set Black Napkins up perfectly. The lead guitars jamming at :44! Can someone name the guitarists by the color of their guitars? I thought Montana was original! Green shirt was amazing. Ah, those high notes ending Montana.
Wow this was so good! I was just in Hilo a couple months ago is this still an annual thing?
VALLEY GIRL 5star ! ! !
frank is at his best in the hands of others. Witanek,The big note .Musikfabrik.
i forgot jonathan haas Black page ,so good.
"I don't understand you"
It would be nice to have a song list with times if someone knows how to do that. - but thanks anyhow. GBG NO EDITS.
not entirely, i saw your dad play pauley at ucla with terry b and a giant poster of his boyfriend behind him, courtesy of frank. that was funny
I don’t think Frank Zappa missed any nook or cranny of the twentieth century to draw your attention to?!
Don't be decieved by Frank's very humanistic theology. Jesus Christ saves.
That’s Great,now put “Eye Brows on it “……
I got it 😉👍
Waaay too slow on Whipping Post. Sucked all the life out of it.
It's because the tide was low..!!!!!!🌊🎸🇧🇷🌊🇧🇷🎸
They're in Hawaii.
