This book was pretty good, and talks a bit about that whole scene: http://www.amazon.com/Laurel-Canyon-Rock---Rolls-Neighborhood/dp/0865479666/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414023058&sr=8-2&keywords=laurel+canyon
His autobiography is a good read. He kind of rambles a lot but he tells a good story of his time in the Mothers and all his different projects afterwards.
Yeah, it's a track called "Room Service" from "The Dub Room Special" DVD. I think they took all the videos of it off of Youtube, I can't find any of them.
Here's a link to the DVD though, worth checking out the whole thing: https://www.amazon.com/Frank-Zappa-Dub-Room-Special/dp/B000BC8SW4
edit: this what you were thinking of?
The earliest reference to the James Baker event that I can find is in this book from 2002. I haven't read it, so I have no idea whether the author cites an original source or not. It would be interesting to know.
'Tis a fantastic whole album, a Yellow Shark part #2!
Amazon Link
There is an enjoyable documentary about this list (free if you have Amazon Prime).
Check out the Zappa Songbook and the Zappa Guitar Book! Both were recently reprinted and are available pretty cheaply.
I just started listening to this, thanks.
For those that want more Scott Thunes, check out the book In Cold Sweat. Really interesting take on the end of the '88 touring band.

Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch Album Cover
Here is Jon Fishman's favorite Zappa tracks. https://www.amazon.com/Zappa-Picks-Jon-Fishman-Phish/dp/B00006K07W#featureBulletsAndDetailBullets_secondary_view_div_1503451077709
Fighting within the band caused Frank to end it early. Here's a book about that whole tour. I haven't read it yet but definitely will at some point.
[I ordered this recently from Amazon so maybe this will help!] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BYKTME/ref=pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1)
/u/Aububuh nailed it already -- just wanted to add that the same author held a sort of rounded-off conference affair in 2004, the essays of which were collected in this book.
My complaints about Negative Dialectics are the same, if not worse, with this book -- it becomes clear that some of these people just don't get the Americanisms of FZ's work -- but it should pass muster as "academic" for your paper.
2-cd set available here.
The Roxy Movie
Here's Madlib's alter-ego, Quasimoto, obvious references to Zappa.
