They also corresponded frequently--about life, music, politics, and much more besides--and this book offers a unique chronicle of their friendship, from their first meeting in 1977 to Zappa's death in 1993. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Co is renowned as an expert on Zappa's music, but this book is about far more than that, and is unlike any other collection of interviews. As his son Dweezil writes in his foreword, Frank was a reluctant and sometimes combative interviewee, yet his conversations with Co were open and wide-ranging. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through more than two decades of these discussions, Frank \u0026amp; Co reveals a thoughtful, sensitive, and expansive Zappa, offering readers new insights into the life and career of one of the great masters of twentieth-century American music. It also includes Co's favourite memories of Frank, as well as interviews with Zappa alumni Flo \u0026amp; Eddie, Jimmy Carl Black, Pamela Zarubica, and Don van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCo de Kloet\u003c\/b\u003e is a musician, composer, producer, and radio personality who works for Dutch public broadcaster NTR and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
