Try "Blessed Relief" from the same album. It's another expression of Zappa's incredible range as a composer, and it's ear candy. George Duke again plays solo electric piano. Great chops.

How could one person write so many types of music at such a high level ?????!!!!! It seems like Frank was at least 50 people, working 24/7 365 days a year! Genius and then some!

Frank Zappa - Dupree's Paradise (1973) live kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6OZnoeipL59gNU Orchestration: 2 flutes, 2 oboes (2nd = English horn), 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, percussion (bass drums, bells, castanets, chimes, cymbals, Chinese cymbals, gong, maracas, marimba, piccolo snare drum, pop gun, slapstick, snare drum, tam-tam, vibraphone, woodblock, xylophone), harp, 2 pianos (= celestas), and strings “Dupree’s Paradise is about a bar on Avalon Boulevard in Watts at 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday in 1964, during the early morning jam session. For about seven minutes, the customers (winos, musicians, degenerates and policemen) do the things that set them apart from the rest of society.” Zappa’s Varèse-inspired point of reference is apparent in his sheer exuberance with the ringing, clanging, abutting piles of sound he marshals. Zappa takes the opening optimistic tune down the rabbit hole, from which it emerges at times sounding like Gershwin, at others like a serialist’s lost weekend. As for his rhythms, Zappa notes they are in general derived from speech patterns and “should have the same sort of flow a conversation would have.” and here is

BIG BAND ZAPPA and you can't get any better than this. Top 10 Zappa Album, maybe Top 5. After 100's of listens this album does not grow old or obsolete. GRAND WAZOO: to Zappa means a Big Band. He has also conducted Medium Wazoo and Small Wazoo. (in his words) ALBUM COVER: Is a depiction of the Title Tune, The Grand Wazoo. Exactly like you see on the cover, is exactly what you hear in that tune. (2) different tunes being played separately (at each other) then the big battle when they clash and play at the same time.

I don't know if I ever posted this comment on one of your reactions, but certainly on many others, so if I'm repeating myself here, I apologize, but the point is still worth making. After Frank was pushed from the stage in Dec. 1971, he was convalescing in a wheelchair for much of 1972. He didn't just sit around waiting to recover. He went right to work composing the music for and recording this 20-piece big band and the smaller outfit that recorded Waka/Jawaka in the same year. Back to dedication to his craft, 9 months to the day after being pushed from the stage, he mounted the tour of this 20-piece big band while still in the wheelchair. It was a brief tour, only 12 cities if I got that correct, but only a month after he pared that band down to 10 pieces and embarked on a longer tour, playing different music. Consider the average "pop star" who would be recovering from a major injury. How many would be taking fistfuls of painkillers and staring off into space? Not Frank. Right back to work. That's an ARTIST.

You're right about the 20 piece big band tour being limited to major cities. I saw them in NYC at The Felt Forum which was an auxilliary hall part of Madison Square Garden. He wasn't in a wheelchair at that point. He did have a cast on his foot. I don't know if he had crutches, justvremember him hobbling, conducting and occasionally playing guitar. The following year he had the ten piece band which I also saw on Long Island. By then he was cast free! Two great shows the second, he was starting to write material for Overnight sensation and Apostrophe " Montana" and " Father Oblivion" were memorable.

This is the album that introduced me to Frank Zappa when I was in 8th grade in 1973 and it literally changed my way of thinking about music and then the next year in 1974 I saw him live in Portland Oregon and Frank opened with Inca Roads, talk about being blown away ! Anyway love this song and somehow, the outro remindes me of something from the movie the Wizard of Oz when they were in the land of Oz. Yes I'm a little odd 😉

@OldMusicGuy99 6 ай бұрын

Around this time I'm in high school and several of us who actually took music lessons and knew something about it would "discover" an album (Yes, King Crimson, Chick Corea, etc) and would present the music to the others. This song was one of those instances for me. My friends told me I had to hear this new thing from Zappa and then they put on this track. Of course I was impressed, especially with the middle improvisational part, and bought the album the next day. I wish I could find something that would impress me as much today; or, maybe I'm just too old to be impressed much anymore.

My favorite Zappa/Mothers album! More genre-influences at the same time than most of Frank's music - at times just an absolute *barrage* of musical power, and seldom less than heart-pounding - and finally coming to roost with the last track "Blessed Relief"!
