Details: Amazon.ca With Hot Rats, Chunga's Revenge, King Kong, Waka-Jawaka, Frank Zappa, supported by violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, takes a jazz rock turn. On The Grand Wazoo, we can even add that it is frankly orchestral and evokes more the arrangements of Gil Evans for Plays Jimi Hendrix than the sound collages of the Mothers Of Invention on Freak Out. Zappa has always loved sophistication (Stravinsky, Varèse) and jazz (Eric Dolphy). Here, all his influences collide, served wonderfully by a dream group where the Fowler brothers, the Underwood family and especially keyboardist George Duke and drummer Aynsley Dunbar excel. An ambitious, perfectly successful and pivotal record, The Grand Wazoo also announces the marriage of jazz rock to funk on Over-Nite Sensation, Apostophe and others. --Philip Robert Product description Mostly instrumental 1972 big band Jazzy sequel to Waka Jawaka/Hot Rats. Complex, and great!!
