Frank Zappa loved to annoy. I grew up watching him battle the Parent Music Resource Center (PMRC), among whose more famous founding members was Tipper Gore, ex-wife of then Senator (and complete douchebag to this day) Al Gore. Though he was, and is, a sleazy huckster, his wife ended up making friends with Frank’s widow, Gail.
As lyrically inane as it was, Frank was one of the best musicians of his day. I miss him, as I’m sure millions still do.

A killer work from Ray Stephen Oche, thanks to my online friend PBK, whose own music is rather tasteful. For more on this trumpeter, check out this entry at OKAfrica.com.
Something a bit funky from Kyoto Jazz Massive, whose name popped into my mind while completing Christmas shopping. Don’t ask.
The end of the year is here, so expect to read many top lists for 2014. All About Jazz points us to John Kelman’s top live choices.
Tigran Hamasyan is a new name on my radar. He’s from Armenia, plays a very aggressive sort of jazz, and will be worth watching develop as the years pass. Nonesuch Records have picked another winner.
