The Black Page Drum Solo/Black Page #1
Frank Zappa · Zappa In New York [1978]
All right now, watch this. Let me tell you about this song. This song was
originally constructed as a drum solo. That's right. Now, after Terry
learned how to play The Black Page on the drum set, I figured, well,
maybe it would be good for other instruments. So I wrote a melody
that went along with the drum solo. And that turned into The Black Page
part 1, the hard version. Then I said, well, what about the other people
in the world, who might enjoy the melody of The Black Page, but couldn't
really approach its statistical density in its basic form. So, I went to work
and constructed a little diddy which is now being set up for you at this little
disco type vamp. This is The Black Page part 2, the easy teenage New York
version. Get down with your bad selves so to speak to The Black Page part
2.
Thank you.
