Kobalt to represent Zappa publishing catalogue
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 2 August 2013
Independent music publisher Kobalt yesterday announced a new deal with The Zappa Family Trust, which will see the company represent the copyrights in the Frank Zappa songs catalogue, including his solo works, and those with the Mothers Of Invention and his touring groups.
Confirming the new deal, Kobalt President Richard Sanders told CMU: “We are extremely honoured to represent the extensive, illustrious repertoire of the legendary Frank Zappa who is certainly one of the greatest musical geniuses of the last century. It’s our privilege to be working with The Zappa Family Trust to protect and promote his iconic catalogue”.
Speaking for the Trust, Gail Zappa added: “Frank Zappa wielded a big stick, whether baton or guitar, and his influence on music and the arts in contemporary society penetrated and plumbed the depths of the importance of a free society with a sense of humour. We are forever laughing at the absurdity of this business and we are pleased to be doing it in the company of Kobalt”.
