Live reviews: https://www.multimartinmusic.com/banned_from_utopia_review.htm
Six months after Frank Zappa’s death in 1993, a German Jazz festival contacted former members of Zappa’s various touring bands and asked if they would perform a tribute concert to commemorate Frank’s life and unique, profilic outpouring of creativity that had such a profound impact on the world of music. Though the loss of their friend and mentor was still fresh, the musicians were thrilled about the idea of bringing Zappa’s music live to the stage once again. That was the start of Band from Utopia, later Banned from Utopia. A highly enthusiastic response from the Zappa fans and the success of a live release led to the band becoming a touring entity every now and then, but also releasing albums of their own with Zappa written or inspired music. The current incarnation features stellar musicians including four from Zappa’s final touring band, performing some of the very best live Frank Zappa music for you!!
