Bruce Lambourne Fowler (born July 10, 1947) is an American trombonist and composer. He played trombone on many Frank Zappa records, as well as with Captain Beefheart and in the Fowler Brothers Band.
But Bruce Fowler’s unique musical qualities and jaw-dropping virtuosity are often obscured by the density of Zappa’s compositions, along with the general weirdness, politically tinged commentary, and irreverence found in Zappa’s performance style.
This album, under Bruce's name, has essentially the same musicians as most of the Fowler's albums: four of the five brothers, Bruce (of course), Tom, Walt, and Steve (Ed must have been busy), along with fellow Zappa alumni Albert Wing, Kurt McGettrick and Chester Thompson, plus a few other guests.
