Frank Zappa - Wazoo - 2007

Wazoo is a live album by Frank Zappa, posthumously released in 2007. It is a 2-CD set consisting of a concert with "The Mothers of Invention/Hot Rats/Grand Wazoo" 20-piece big band in Boston on September 24, 1972. It is the last concert of a brief series of shows that marked Zappa's return to the stage after his forced temporary retirement from the touring scene due to the injuries he suffered from an assault at a concert in December 1971. The material showcases Zappa's endavors into jazz-based music, and many of the compositions were featured on the 1972 studio albums The Grand Wazoo and Waka/Jawaka. Rehearsals leading to these albums and concerts are documented on Joe's Domage (2004), while Imaginary Diseases (2006) presents live recordings with a stripped-down version of the big band named "Petite Wazoo." Wazoo is the third installment on the Vaulternative Records label that is dedicated to the posthumous release of complete Zappa concerts (following the releases FZ:OZ and Buffalo).
