This is a superb album. The band from Waka/Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo, with it's heavy jazz emphasis, plays superbly arranged pieces from the Petit Wazoo tour of the early 70's. My personal favorite is Been To Kansas City In A Minor (be careful how you read this double entendre). I believe this is an essential CD for the Zappa lover. For those that admire the jazz of Miles Davis/John Coltrane, this is a chance to hear Zappa's version of "jazz-rock" at its finest from a live performance. Coming as it did at the time of Bitches Brew, I am left to wonder - after years of believing Miles Davis as the superior musician/composer/arranger - if Zappa did not in fact come close to being his equal or even his better. Such points are not worth quibbling over. This is a 5 star performance from a band playing the music of one of the musical geniuses of the 20th century. Zappa plays some wicked guitar as well, but the greatness is in the compositions and arrangements.
