Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.


This 1972 album continues the mostly-instrumental, jazz-rock thread of Zappa's work, which began with "Hot Rats" and continued with "Waka / Jawaka". It's a big-band setting this time, with lots of improvisation, with big brass, woodwind and percussion sections.

Sal Marquez, in particular, shines on trumpet. Zappa-philes will also recognize names like Aynsley Dunbar, Don Preston and George Duke.

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.

Tracklist:

1. For Calvin (and His Next Two Hitch-Hikers)
2. The Grand Wazoo
3. Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus
4. Eat That Question
5. Blessed Relief
