On the heels of UMe and the Zappa Trust’s work together, and Alex Winter’s 2020 feature documentary Zappa, of which UMe provided the soundtrack, UMG says that “Zappa and his music have experienced a newfound popularity that only continues to grow nearly two decades after his death”. UMG says that it’s grown streams of Zappa’s music by double-digit percentages each year and recently, much of Zappa’s catalog was made available in Hi-Res Audio for download and streaming for the first time. With the acquisition, UMG says that its global catalog company Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) and Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) will now “build on the company’s already successful track record of working with the Zappa Trust to amplify Frank Zappa’s career”.Īccording to UMG, over the last decade, the Zappa Trust and UMe “have revitalized Frank Zappa’s catalog” through a stream of archival releases, vinyl reissues of his classic albums and streaming initiatives.
