Abstract

This essay and associated published paper are an edited version of the introductory chapter to a forthcoming book being published by Ashgate entitled Frank Zappa and the And: A Contextual Analysis of his Legacy (2013). The essay outlines the richness of Zappa's career in terms of semiological depth, and how his cross-referencing of both his own, other composers music, and popular culture at large provides a complex web of meaning, in which he often re-signified musical materials in subtle, and often humorous ways.
