Free Music Notes for Waka Jawaka Album
Free Music Review: Waka/Jawaka Is FZ At His Prime
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm not a Zappa-o'phile but this album is a gem. "Big Swifty" and "Waka/Jawaka" are some of the finest jazz fusion you will ever hear. You are listening to Zappa in his prime. Not everything Zappa has done is this good. Much of FZ's material is a little too silly for me as he learned to play up the bizzare to sell albums. Waka/Jawaka is as good as Hot Rats or Grand Wazoo. Jazz From Hell is another very challenging FZ album that I recommend. I had always hoped that Zappa would focus more on improvisional jazz fusion rather than the goofy and the gross. Zappa was a HUGE talent that got too caught up in anti-establishment baiting.
