 (4 Customer Reviews)
The Mothers Of Invention includes: Frank Zappa (vocals, guitar, organ); Sugar Cane Harris (violin); Ian Underwood, Don Preston (piano).
BURNT WEENY SANDWICH would be Frank Zappa's last album released in the Sixties (December of 1969, to be exact). Having just split up the original Mothers of Invention line-up, Zappa decided to sift through tapes of unused tracks by the band, which ultimately comprised BURNT WEENY SANDWICH (another compilation of outtakes, WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH, would be issued one year later). The majority of the album is instrumental, and contains both live and studio material. Although the songs didn't surface the first time around, these aren't throwaways--many worthwhile Zappa cuts reside here.
The only compositions to contain vocals are the album's opener, "WPLJ," and closer, "Valarie." Both are essentially obscure doo-wop covers (Zappa covered doo-wop songs throughout his career), and are expertly performed. Symphonic music is touched upon with two brief tracks, "Igor's Boogie (Phase One)" and "Igor's Boogie (Phase Two)," as well as the lengthier "Holiday in Berlin, Full Blown." "Theme From Burnt Weeny Sandwich" is guitar-driven rock, "Aybe Sea" is beautiful chamber music, and "The Little House I Used To Live In" is a nearly twenty-minute track, beginning as a solo piano piece before turning into a typically twisted Zappa rocker.

Arranger: Frank Zappa.Q (8/95, pp.150-151) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "Between two slices of naive doo-wop exultation, the weeny in question was the usual blend of crazed elegance and limpet-like discipline, with no filler..."

This 1970 release finds Zappa and band at the apex of their improvisational powers.

In its original LP form, the album was divided into two discrete halves. The first side consists ...

Burnt Weeny Sandwich
$9.59
Recorded in 1999 but not released until four years later, Light of Day is the slyly titled debut by Devorah Day, a New York-based jazz singer who gets not merely musical but liner note support from Marion Brown, noted among other efforts for his work with John Coltrane on Ascension. Brown's enthusiastic words about Day resembling both Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald may seem like well-meaning hype, but a listen to the disc shows that it's not an ill-founded comparison at all. With a warm, casual approach to her singing evident throughout -- she is as apt to not sing as she is to step up, and even on her own compositions like "Come Closer" it's predominantly the accompaniment that is heard -- she's not yet the equal of those giants but squarely falls in the tradition. Generally her tone is on the higher and sometimes lighter side, but she can certainly belt when she needs to -- and often saves it for the right moment, as when on "Lover Man" she suddenly cuts loose with a bit of throaty sass. "Dindi," a cover of an Antonio Carlos Jobim number, is even more striking, a full solo turn by her that's wonderful listening. The backing is an inspired mix, with a total of three sax players and one bassist being very much equal participants with Day in the performances -- they sound perfectly right for each other at just about all points. Given Brown's own work with ESP in the '60s, there's something of the same feeling of that label here as a result -- Light of Day is a recording to please the performers rather than the perceived market (the bit of chatter between "Our Bit of Piddling" and "Lover Man" quietly reinforces that). ~ Ned Raggett
Originally released as a self produced CD-R, Abaton Book Company is pleased to announce the official release of "Light of Day", the debut CD by avant jazz vocalist Devorah Day. Although Ms. Day is little known in the current jazz scene, her stature is undeniable to those who have seen her perform or heard the underground tapes in circulation. Her fans understand that this release should be seen as the most important jazz vocal album of the decade because Day is heir apparent to the fortunes set aside by Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Nina ...
