FRANK ZAPPA ALUMNIS FEATURES GUESTS

"Triple-threat musician (multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter) Jeff Simmons first came to the attention of Frank Zappa as a member of the Seattle-based group Ethiopia (formerly Easy Chair)
when they opened for the Mothers Of Invention at a concert in Seattle. They were signed by Bizarre, and were part of the legendary Bizarre "Gala Pre-Xmas Bash" on December 6 & 7, 1968
(along with The Mothers, Wild Man Fischer, The GTO's, and Alice Cooper) at the Shrine Exposition Hall in Santa Monica.

Soon afterwards, they broke up.

Simmons was then signed to Straight

This is Jeff's Straight album  "Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up".

Zappa contributed generously to the album, under the pseudonym Lamarr Bruister. He wrote the title track (which he would later record himself for "Joe's Garage"), co-produced the album
(with engineer Chris Huston), played lead guitar on 'Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up' and 'Raye', and co-wrote 'Wonderful Wino' with Simmons.

In the notes for Zappa's "The Lost Episodes" CD,
Simmons explains that 'Wonderful Wino' came to be after Zappa heard an instrumental track that Simmons had recorded, and then came up with some lyrics for it on the spot.

Simmons wrote the other eight songs on the album, and he is featured on lead vocals, keyboards, bass guitar, and accordion. Helping out are Craig Tarwater (a former member of the legendary L.A. garage band Sons Of Adam) on guitar, Ron Woods on drums (John Kehlior played drums on 'Lucille' & 'Raye'),
and Ian Underwood on sax.

Following the recording of his own albums, Jeff assisted Zappa on his "Chunga's Revenge" album.

He became a member of the "new Mothers", featuring Flo & Eddie. He left the group during the making of "200 Motels", although he would return for appearances on Zappa's "Waka/Jawaka" and "Roxy & Elsewhere" albums.
