Zappa/Wazoo CDs (2007)
 $23.79   
Keen-eyed *philes will notice the parenthetical "Think It Over" as part of the composition's name. Part of his stage gear and setup were destroyed by a speaker tower that collapsed prior to show time. *'s "Intro Intros" allow the artist to acknowledge the other 19 members of his rockin' teenage combo by name and mention to the assembled audience the "certain disadvantage" that Jay Migliori (flute/tenor sax/woodwinds) finds himself in. No sooner does * conclude his announcements than the assembled ensemble begin a rapid ascent into a sublime and powerful reading of the title track to the "Grand Wazoo" long player. Although Zappa had worked with large groups of musicians for quite some time, he had rarely (if ever) had the opportunity to tour as part of an orchestrated lineup that featured a dozen-piece horn section with six brass and six woodwinds. Wazoo! (2007) -- the third Vaulternative Records package -- is a double-CD set from the Boston Music Hall on September 24, 1972 -- the last performance of the eight-show Grand Wazoo (1972) tour. The reference is a nod to the still-unrealized sci-fi musical that * called "Hunchentoot." Had that project come to fruition, the same piece would have been incorporated as "Think It Over" -- complete with lyrics.
