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.

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. Perhaps the cover image of a sink refers to the kitchen variety.

Recorded while Zappa 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.

Tracklist:

1. Big Swifty
2. Your Mouth
3. It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal
4. Waka/Jawaka
