Zappa Plays Zappa is a tribute led by Dweezil Zappa, the oldest son of the late composer and musician Frank Zappa, devoted to performing the music of Frank Zappa. Apart from Dweezil Zappa on lead guitar, the band members consist of Scheila Gonzalez, Pete Griffin, Billy Hulting, Jamie Kime and Joe Travers. At the 51st Grammy Awards in February 2009, Zappa Plays Zappa won best rock instrumental performance for their performance of "Peaches en Regalia".
"Frank Zappa's musical imprint continues to resonate nearly 15 years after his death, a fact that bears testimony to his ability to find a synthesis among rock, jazz, fusions and absurdist humor. It seems appropriate, then, that Zappa's son, Dweezil, should keep his father's legacy alive by gathering some of Frank's former colleagues to pay tribute to his sprawling musical reach and form the band known as Zappa Plays Zappa. Their concerts present a collection of Frank Zappa's rock-oriented compositions from 1960s to 1980s. Apart from Dweezil Zappa on lead guitar, the band consists of a mix of relatively unknown young musicians and the older musicians who previously played with Frank Zappa himself. "
