About this listen

The Mothers of Connection is a music show. I connect artists, genres and theme through the life, times and work of the genius, Frank Zappa. We have themes, interviews with well known Zappa tribute artists (Andre Cholmondeley, Ed Palermo) and original members (Robert Martin) and spokespeople from companies like Reverb.com and Sabian.

    Inspired by the Billy Joel documentary series, I decided to explore other singer/pianists, keyboardists, and synth players who were the face and the heart of their sound. We heard live work from Aretha Franklin, Elton John, George Duke, Ben Folds, Bruce Hornsby, Leon Russell, and more.

    I know I’m not the first person to make a “Mount Rushmore” of musicians, but it was a blast to explore and expectedly hard to narrow down. I ended up creating my own top fours for Zappa musicians, guitarists, bassists, and drummers, featuring the work of Rush, Stanley Clarke, Hendrix, Bootsy Collins, and more.
