On 15 December 2024, the final concert of the Jõulujazz (Christmas Jazz) festival, "Zappa!", took place in Tallinn, where Ludensemble XL, soloists Vaiko Eplik and Valter Soosalu performed under the baton of conductor Kaspar Mänd. The performance included both Frank Zappa's top orchestral works and a selection of songs from his rock band. In the first days of November, during the preparation period for the concert, Kaspar Mänd and Avo Raup talked about this project. [See the concert photo gallery.]
