"Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny." ~FZ
I adore Zappa's forays down the jazz rabbit hole, ‘Waka/Jawaka’ and ‘The Grand Wazoo.' Now, behold the ultimate collection of goodness from these sessions. Sounds utterly fantastic in 96 kHz/24 bit hidef via Qobuz (and also available via lesser streaming services or on glorious vinyl). Read all about it:

was hoping for a Grand Wazoo / Waka Jawaka all year already.
ordered both coloured vinyl editions when announced, let's see if Universal can keep the release date.
..anyway, did not yet pre-order the 4cd+bluray set.
does anyone else of you Zappa afficionados feel that the promo picture for the cd set looks like it has some cheaply made CD-Rs in it?? likely not, but ermm, irritating.
