Zappa and Beefheart toured a lot together and Zappa actually produced Trout Mask Replica, if you can believe that. You can hear him giving direction on the dialogue at the beginning of Pena and he's the one that talks about how perfect the first take went at the end of The Blimp (Mousetrapreplica). Also, have you heard Bongo Fury? It's collaborative live album with the Captain and Zappa, it's really great. In addition, there's another live album that they did together called Live in El Paso '79. I'd recommend both records heartily and can give you a link for Bongo Fury if you like (I can't find the latter, but it is on youtube in its entirety.)
