MINTY CLEAN 1972 FIRST PRESSING
Frank Zappa
The Grand Wazoo
USA - BIZARRE RECORDS - MS 2093
Original CLEAN 1972 first pressing in thick gatefold cover...really hard to find this album on the original BIZARRE label, some collectors think it does not exist on this label, but here it is
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.
