CAPTAIN BEEFHEART Captain Beefheart's Jukebox (2009 UK 25-track CD album - If there's one contemporary composer whose influence is nigh impossible to ascertain, it's the artist once known as Don Van Vliet – more familiarly, Captain Beefheart. Themusic Beefheart released between his 1967 debut 'Safe A Milk' and his last album, recorded almost 30 years ago, 'Ice Cream For Crow', is so original & unique, that any attempt to catalogue those who inspired its strictly organic creation, isatask few would relish. But, there are two central themes that do run through Beefheart's repertoire, two themes that were also, according to those closest to him, representative of the music he was most likely to listen to throughout the time he was recording and releasing music; these being Blues and Free Form Jazz. This compilation brings together the records it is known Captain Beefheart was listening to prior to making his own music [often in the company of school chum Frank Zappa] and throughout his musical career. Records that have been partly responsible, in their own way, for establishing a recording style whereby experimentation is de rigeur and following whatever came before is forbidden.)
