I am a know-nothing but I do find Zukofsky's tone extremely warm and probably distinctive.

But do you think his violin tone is "extremely warm and probably distinctive"

I don't know anything about Paul Zukofsky's dad's poetry either

I am entirely unqualified to answer the OP's question, but here is evidence of Paul Z's dickishness w/r/t fair use and his father's poetry: http://www.z-site.net/copyright-notice-by-pz/
Here is a good brief rundown of the merits of his father's poetry: http://jacketmagazine.com/30/z-bernstein.html
And here are some sections from his father's magnum opus, A: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/louis-zukofsky#about
