Sheik Yer Zappa represents Stefano Bollani’s hommage to an authentic rock icon. Recorded live during a tour, this cd includes songs of Frank Zappa’s, plus three pieces composed by Bollani’s himself and inspired by the rock star.
Bollani is a jazz artist, and this means that Zappa’s songs are reworked and elaborated with his personal touch: he is producing a musical cocktail with his personal shaker (from this comes the title, which also plays on Zappa’s own words). So the results can be in some cases different from the original, but the attitude remains: the typical attitude, and the artistry with which Frank Zappa was able to capture and blend music from all over the world.
One July afternoon in Milan I asked Stefano Bollani to tell me about his album based on Frank Zappa (1940–1993). I thought, what better way of presenting to the public a work to which this pianist from Milano attaches great importance and which has taken a long time to come together. As you will see, it turned out to be a very personal experience.
How did Sheik Yer Zappa start? Or rather, let’s begin with the title: what does it mean?
It refers to a famous album by him called Sheik Yerbouti. On the cover he was dressed up as an Arab sheik. Very serious. The title is really a play on the name of the song Shake Your Booty. So now, not wanting to miss out, I’ve called this disc Sheik Yer Zappa.
How did it come about?
The album is the result of a series of concerts done in 2011. It’s not just a single night but pieces taken from various performances. And they’re not all pieces by Zappa; there’s also one by me, specially written for the occasion, and one that’s by me and the vibraphonist, one of our improvisations. Bands that do cover versions of Zappa usually play the music as it’s written. Instead, we’ve taken pieces as starting points for a great deal of improvisation. What we’ve done is to “shake” Zappa in order to get different things.
The shadow of Zappa is there behind us. The spirit with which he took all the music in the world, mixed it together and made interesting combinations, putting the umbrella and the sewing machine on the same table.
How have you interpreted his music?
They are more like starting points than interpretations. It’s a way of keeping his music alive, taking a composition written in a certain period and transporting it to the future. The idea was not to make a monument to him. Zappa didn’t make monuments to anyone and I don’t think he would have wanted one; instead we wanted to take him and "use" him to go in a different direction...
