For those that may not know a lot of Zappa I can suggest the following albums. This is considered his more 'serious' work and I suppose could be called Jazz, although in Zappas own way of course. Burnt Weeny Sandwich. Elements of West Coast Doo Wap soon fade into off beat Ballroom style music concluding in the magnificent 'The House I Used To Live In' with Sugar Ray on Violin. Grand Wazoo. A number of excellent players on this heavily musical album, look out for Eat That Question and a nice cheesy fade out with Blessed Relief. Waka Jawaka. An essential album for anyone thinking of a Zappa purchase. It starts out with a 20 minutes heavy Jazz peice with a wonderful horn conclusion, the middle ahs a little singing with fantastic slide guitar concluding the Album with something that easily could have come from a 1970s American Cop Show. All of these albums are excellent. Any reference to Zappa, and comments or derision should be held back until these albums are played! regards
