ZAPPA, FRANK - The Grand Wazoo (1972)

The Article has images
2008-09-08 09:19:38 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Wazoo is the sister album to Waka/ Jawaka and it was released in 1972 the same year as Waka/ Jawaka. The music on The Grand Wazoo is also in the same mostly instrumental jazz/ rock style. The original LP has a different tracklist than the CD version which means that For Calvin (And His Next Two Hitch-Hikers) is placed as track number one on...

2008-10-11 16:02:02 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Wazoo is a bit weaker but still definitely worthy of attention In comparison with Hot Rats, this album is much more built on cinematic layers of big band sound, rather than extended jams. Again, as with both Hot Rats and Waka/Jawaka (the second in the trio), vocals and lyrics are very rare and underutilized, at some points to the music's...

ZAPPA, FRANK - The Grand Wazoo (1972) [rated 4/5 by The Ace Face]

2008-01-26 00:53:25 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Wazoo: Equivalent to The Gumbo Variations and Big Swifty, this is the album's big extended jam song. It kicks off with a lively 6/8 beat, with some nice guitar soloing from Zappa, and the drums in the background are intensely unique. When the horn section comes in, the sound is hugely more full. You can almost imagine this music playing at...

...Wazoo. Hot Rats was released in 1969 while the other two were both released in 1972. This is a great chance for jazz/ rock fans to get to know Zappas most jazzy moments Hot Rats Hot Rats is being praised here on Prog Archives as being one of Frank Zappas finest moments, and it is certainly unique in Zappas discography. When I first started...

2008-04-22 19:17:48 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Wazoo; the best of three, selon moi. This middle link is probably the weakest of the three, but is still an incredibly strong piece of music. It's clear that Hot Rats is the most popular, and Grand Wazoo is my recommendation, so this part two of sorts is by no means essential, and shouldn't be too high on anyone's lists, unless you've already...

...Wazoo which is much in the same vein as Waka/ Jawaka just a bit more elaborate. Personally I have always enjoyed Waka/ Jawaka more than The Grand Wazoo. I dont nesseccarely think that Waka/ Jawaka is essential for all prog heads but for Zappa fans this is a must and Ill rate Waka/ Jawaka 4 stars. For fans of jazz rock this one will probably (...

...Wazoo or the first side of Apostrophe than to Sheik Yerbouti or Joe's Garage The Adventures of Greggery Peccary kicks off (or rather, spends half of) the album. Meandering and marked with a lot of complicated to quirky musical bits, the main focus of this song is the mostly spoken word sections. We have Frank narrating, a sped-up voice...
