Born Edwin Jobson 05/28/1955 in Billingham, Cleveland, England, Eddie caught Frank's attention when his band Roxy Music opened for Zappa at the Mecca Auditorium, Milwaukee, WI, 11/28/1975. FZ asked Jobson to accompany the MOI the following month for a week in Canada. Eddie guested on violin on 12/7/1975 in Hamilton, and on 12/8/1975 in Montreal - all the while playing with FZ in dressing rooms and hotels as Frank assessed his talents - and became a member of the band in 1976. Eddie Jobson provided keyboards, violin and/or vocal for Zappa In New York, Studio Tan, Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar (The Series) set, You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 6, and Läther; also for the Beat The Boots series disk Conceptual Continuity (BTB).
