My wife and I had the opportunity to take breakfast with him in his LA home when we were visiting in 1992. He was gracious, generous, and had an absolutely magnetic presence.
'I denied it - I said I wasn't important, I was cold.' - A class man...
What a great man. As a Ph,D. student of music history, his "Music since 1900", was indispensable, as was "Bakers".
what an inspiring artist and what a delicious sense of humor. One of a kind and I love him
A treasure. I’ve watched it countless times. Thank you for posting. Jenny
Beautiful. I wish I had had the chance to meet this wonderful, effervescent man.
A fascinating look at this music talent and colorful human being!
Thanks for making this available. I truly admire this man. His autobiography is a great read, too.
My man lived to the age of -1. This was wonderful thanks for uploading it :')
What an artful life. Nice narration, Michael York.
Amazing Man ... human excellence ... much love

It's sad to see Zappa in such bad shape at half Slonimsky's age. :(

Zappa was near death...from excruciating prostate cancer...at this point, Zappa wasn't exactly in condition to run the 100-yard dash...it's obvious he's in a hospital bed and suffering
