Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka

Band: Frank Zappa Title: Waka/Jawaka Rating: Release Date: 02 May, 1995 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Big Swifty 2: Your Mouth 3: It Just Might Be A One-Shot Deal 4: Waka/Jawaka

Editoral Review The album's dual showpieces, the opening "Big Swifty" and the title track, combine dynamic horn arrangements and free-form improvisational experimentation (Think Miles Davis circa 1973), and the album's other two tracks, "Your Mouth" and "It Just Might Be A One-Shot Deal" blend elements of electric blues and country music. One of two sets recorded with a mini-big band in the early seventies, Waka/Jawaka is one of the most eclectic releases of Frank Zappa's hyper-eclectic career. Perhaps the cover image of a sink refers to the kitchen variety. Recorded whileZappa was confined to a wheel chair following an onstage attack, this stew of diverse musical elements is best for the diehard fan and anyone with a taste for the unusual. --Andrew Boscardin ..
