supports: The Mothers of Invention were an American rock band from California that served as the backing musicians for Frank Zappa. Their work is marked by the use of sonic experimentation, innovative album art, and elaborate live shows. In musical terminology, tempo ("time" in Italian; plural: "tempi" ) is the speed or pace of a given piece or subsection thereof, how fast or slow. Tempo is related to meter and is usually measured by beats per minute, with the beats being a division of the measures, though tempo is often indicated by terms which have acquired standard ranges of beats per minute or assumed by convention without indication. Tempo may be separated from articulation, or articulation may be indicated along with tempo, and tempo contributes to the overall texture. While the ability to hold a steady tempo is a desirable skill, tempo is changeable, and often indicated by a conductor or drummer. While practicing, an electronic or mechanical device, a metronome, may indicate the tempo, as one usually works one's way up to being able to perform at the proper tempo. In other words it is the speed at which a passage of music is or should be played. Comic opera denotes a sung dramatic work of a light or comic nature, usually with a happy ending. Patter is a prepared and practiced speech that is designed to produce a desired response from its audience. Examples of occupations with a patter might include the auctioneer, salesperson, dance caller, or comedian. The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life is a double disc live album by Frank Zappa, released in 1991 (see 1991 in music). The album was one of three to be recorded during the 1988 world tour, along with "Broadway the Hard Way" and "Make a Jazz Noise Here". Each of these three accounts of the 1988 tour has a different emphasis: "Broadway the Hard Way" mainly consists of new compositions; "Make a Jazz Noise Here" is a sampler of classic Zappa tunes, most of them instrumental; and "The Best Band..." devotes itself to covers. Some of these are unlikely (such as "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin), while many are from Zappa's extensive back catalogue. His mid-1970s output is emphasized in the selection, but there is also some material from the Mothers of Invention's late 1960s recordings and one song ("Lonesome Cowboy Burt") from "200 Motels". It was re-issued in 1995 and 2012 along with his entire catalogue. Make a Jazz Noise Here is a live double album by Frank Zappa. It was first released in June 1991, and was the third Zappa album to be compiled from recordings from his 1988 world tour, following "Broadway the Hard Way" (1988) and "The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life" (1991). The album's cover art was made by Larry Grossman. We're Only in It for the Money is the third studio album by the Mothers of Invention. Released on March 4, 1968 on Verve Records, it was subsequently remixed and re-recorded by Frank Zappa and reissued by Rykodisc in 1986. `` Let 's Make The Water Turn Black '' is a patter song which first appeared on the 1968 Mothers of Invention album We 're Only in It for the Money and later on the 1995 compilation album Strictly Commercial . An uptempo instrumental version is featured on the 1991 live album Make a Jazz Noise Here . Frank Vincent Zappa (December 21, 1940  December 4, 1993) was an American musician, composer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, actor, and filmmaker whose work is characterized by nonconformity, free-form improvisation, sound experiments, musical virtuosity, and satire of American culture. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa composed rock, pop, jazz, jazz fusion, orchestral and "musique concrète" works, and produced almost all of the 60-plus albums that he released with his band the Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. Zappa also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse rock musicians of his generation. Broadway the Hard Way is a Frank Zappa live album recorded at various performances along his 1988 world tour. It was first released as a 9-track vinyl album through Zappa's label Barking Pumpkin Records in October 1988, and subsequently as a 17-track CD through Rykodisc in 1989. Strictly Commercial is a compilation album by Frank Zappa. It was released in 1995 (see 1995 in music), two years after his death. The disc is currently out of print and has been replaced in Zappa's catalog by the 2016 compilation album "ZAPPAtite". Gilbert and Sullivan refers to the Victorian-era theatrical partnership of the librettist W. S. Gilbert (18361911) and the composer Arthur Sullivan (18421900) and to the works they jointly created. The two men collaborated on fourteen comic operas between 1871 and 1896, of which "H.M.S. Pinafore", "The Pirates of Penzance" and "The Mikado" are among the best known. Verve Records is an American record label founded by Norman Granz in 1956. It absorbed the catalogues of his earlier labels, Clef Records (founded in 1946) and Norgran Records (founded in 1953), and material previously licensed to Mercury Records. Verve Records is owned by the Verve Label Group, run by Danny Bennett. Rykodisc was an American record label. Its catalog is owned by Warner Music Group, operating as a unit of WMG's Independent Label Group and is distributed through Alternative Distribution Alliance. The patter song is characterised by a moderately fast to very fast tempo with a rapid succession of rhythmic patterns in which each syllable of text corresponds to one note. It is a staple of comic opera, especially Gilbert and Sullivan, but it has also been used in musicals and elsewhere. This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the year 1995.
