<H1>Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart</H1> Contains elements of Frank's instantly recognizable jazz-rock fusion. <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/dgm/images/waka-jawakaSM1.jpg" ALIGN=right ALT="Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka" NAME="Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> Personnel: Frank Zappa (acoustic & electric guitars, percussion); Tony Duran (vocals, slide guitar); Jeff Simmons (vocals, Hawaiian guitar); Sal Marquez (vocals, trumpet, flugelhorn, chimes); Erroneous (vocals, electric bass); Chris Peterson, Janet Ferguson (vocals); "Sneaky Pete" Kleinow (pedal steel guitar); Joel Peskin (tenor saxophone); Mike Altschul (tenor & baritone saxophones, piccolo, bass flute, bass clarinet); Bill Byers, Ken Shroyer (trombone, baritone horn); Aynsley Dunbar (drums). Recorded at Paramount Studios, Los Angeles, California. Frank Zappa sustained a serious injury on December 10, 1971 while performing at the Rainbow Theater in England, when an overzealous fan pushed him off the stage. Zappa was forced to keep a low profile while recovering from this traumatic event, but he was in the middle of a very fertile recording period--his classic albums HOT RATS, BURNT WEENY SANDWICH, and CHUNGA'S REVENGE had all recently been released. Instead of moping around, Zappa immersed himself in writing new music, and 1972's WAKA/JAWAKA was his first album to appear since his great fall from the concert stage. Although not as instantly rewarding as the aforementioned HOT RATS, WAKA/JAWAKA is still a solid Zappa album. Like its predecessors listed above, it contains elements of Frank's instantly recognizable jazz-rock fusion. But due to its gritty rock production, the four-song album (two tracks are very lengthy, the others shorter) is not your normal fusion effort. The opener "Big Swifty" leans more towards rock (thanks to Zappa's distorted guitar riffs), while the closing title track is jazzier, as a horn section plays the tune's multiple melodies.
