Zappa: A Grandmothers Night at the Gewandhaus is a live album recorded at the 2003 “Strings of Fire” Leipzig festival by The Grandmothers, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the death of Composer Frank Zappa, in 1993.
Three of the legendary founders of the Mothers of Invention, and respectively today’s Grandmothers, were in Leipzig: Don Preston, Bunk Gardner and Roy Estrada. The fourth was Napoleon M. Brock. Ken Rosser and Chris Garcia joined as new Grandmothers to make up an energetic sextet. The first half of the concert presented Grandmother’s classics and new compositions which were given their world premiere at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. The second half of the concert presented Zappa classics from the time of The Mothers of Invention which were performed with members from the original Mothers.

Baby Grandmothers were a short-lived Swedish band, but one of the most prolific and unique psychedelic, modal, experimental power-trios to emerge out of the Scandinavian psychedelic underground-scene in 1967. Although hailing from Stockholm, Sweden they only released a single in Finland, which has since become one of the most sought after pieces of vinyl from the era. Baby Grandmothers were formed out of the legendary R&B / beat band T-Boones in the summer of 1967. T-Boones are probably best known for their “At the club/King of the Orient” single which is one of the best, and most collectable, out of the Swedish garage beat-era. Guitar-wiz Kenny Håkansson joined the band in 1965 and with the group down to a trio they drifted into the psychedelic sounds of the time and in August 1967 released the single “I Want You”, which definitely was the first hard-rock recording ever made in Sweden…
