| Frank Digs Jazz
My favorite Zappa jazz offerings some more famous than others. Wish at least for my taste that he would have stayed in this vein rather than going off to the Orchestral thing which I am pretty disinterested in, but the best Zappa swings. Here are some offerings, no order it is up to you to make the order call. | | 1 |  | Frank Zappa
Hot Rats
Peaches in regalia
One of the originals, short but memorable, early ZAppa is so awesome | | 2 |  | The Mothers of Invention
Absolutely Free
Invocation & ritual dance of the young Pumpkins
This piece got me into Zappa. I was a pizza man back in college and had tons of time to listen to music, and was listening to everything. I wanted to like Frank, but was pissed that he never let his great band play, everything was so abrupt, then I finally got to this beauty. Jerry Garcia always thought the The Mothers were "it" this gives you a glimpse | | 3 |  | Frank Zappa
The Grand Wazoo

First great piece from my fave Frank album | | 4 |  | Frank Zappa
Chunga's Revenge
Transylvania Boogie
That poor Vacuum just wanted to be loved | | 5 | | The Mothers of Invention
Absolutely Free
Call Any Vegestable
The studio does not do this justice, I think for the best is to check the versions on the great Road Tapes series | | 6 |  | Frank Zappa
Imaginary Diseases
Been to K.C. in A minor

The best of the best, I challenge anybody to find a more beautiful song | | 8 |  | Frank Zappa
Waka/Jawaka

The coupling of WJ and GW are a magnificent piece of work and probably the best live shows from the Zappa years, those dudes could play | | 9 | | Frank Zappa
