FRANK ZAPPA - THE GRAND WAZOO - RARE 1972 NZ COPY IN EX CONDITION !!!
BELIEVE THE REVIEW BELOW, THIS IS A FANTASTIC ALBUM FROM ZAPPA !!!
ANALOGUE SOUND REALLY IS INCREDIBLE !!!
Zappa-philes will recognize names like Aynsley Dunbar, Don Preston and George Duke within the five lengthy tracks include the witty "Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus," the intricate title track, the rock-edged "For Calvin (And His Next Two Hitch-Hikers)," and the more lyrical "Blessed Relief. "Grand Wazoo" is an astonishinng work of melodic inventiveness and orchestration, each of its tunes can leave you breathless with their wealth of ideas and ironic genius.
Zappa, as praised as he has been, remains deserving of further acknowledgement --belonging to a very small and selected group of American composers without whom it would be literally impossible to think of American music, period. Zappa -like Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington or Miles Davis, to name a few- in their own ways, were ... are ... artists who transformed the musical genres they cultivated, and made them something they have never been before.
In Zappa's case, the amazing satirist he was or the tremedous guitar player he could be, often, overshadowed the seminal composer and arranger he's always been. "Grand Wazoo" does the latter complete and unarguable justice...an album that continues the jazz-rock thread of Zappa's work, which began with HOT RATS and continued with WAKA/JAWAKA.
