Town Hall Rocks To A Zany Group
What began as the equivalent of an underground office party at Town Hall last night soon developed into both a very serious and experimental new-form concert, an equally irrevelent and satirical musical evening.On stage was a nine-member pop-classical-rock-chamber orchestra called the Mothers of Invention. The Mother Superior, Frank Zappa, is a sort of compositional wizard turned zany who suggests a mix between Stravinsky and Groucho Marx, with a touch of Rasputin thrown in for flavor.
