The Grand Wazoo
''The Grand Wazoo'' is a 1972 jazz fusion album by Frank Zappa and The Mothers. Composed and recorded during Zappa's period of convalescence following his assault in London, the album, along with its predecessor album, ''Waka/Jawaka'' (July 1972), represent Zappa's foray into big band fusion, the logical progression from ''Hot Rats'' (1969), which used a much smaller lineup. The album was the last release on Zappa's Bizarre Records label. This is Official Release #16.
==Recording and production==
The instrumental makeup of ''The Grand Wazoo'' is big band. It was the third album released in a period where Zappa used a wheelchair and was unable to tour after being assaulted and pushed offstage into an orchestra pit during a London concert.〔Miles, Barry. "The Rainbow Theatre Incident." Zappa Wiki Jawaka. N.p., 13 May 2007. Web. 13 May 2015.〕 ''The Grand Wazoo'' consisted largely of instrumental pieces, similar to three of Zappa's previous albums: ''Hot Rats'' (1969), ''Burnt Weeny Sandwich'' (1970), and ''Waka/Jawaka'' (July 1972).
In this same period in analog recording the number of tracks available was expanding. Multi-track recording was changing rapidly with "sound on sound" being supplanted by "sound with sound" tape technology. ''Hot Rats'' (1969) had been released a few years prior to ''The Grand Wazoo'' (1972) and was recorded on one of the first 16 track tape machines. It featured multiple tracks of clarinets, flutes, saxophones, piano and organ parts played by a single musician, Ian Underwood. At the time of ''the Grand Wazoo'', the compositions were arranged for large ensembles which were conceived as studio recording vehicles, rather than live touring bands.
Zappa was also producer and principal composer for Jean-Luc Ponty's album ''King Kong'' (1970) during this period.
