1972/Frank Zappa/"The Grand Wazoo"

Estados Unidos, 1972. Ya que ayer hablábamos sobre este gran álbum, y lo invocamos por que el pianista George Duke tocó en el "King Kong" de Jean-Luc Ponty, quiero rescatarlo por que lo había publicado para el blog pasado, pero el link aún sigue vivo. "The Grand Wazoo" es uno de los mejores discos de Frank Zappa muy jazzistico y enriquecido con un gran elenco lleno de envolventes pasajes instrumentales y solos prodigiosos, relatándonos una historia mas de las grandes historias fumadas que el maestro Zappa: "La leyenda de Cleetus Awreetus-Awrightus y el Gran Wazoo". Les dejo de muestra el tema que da título al álbum, esperando les agrade este post que re-publico.
