    Waka/Jawaka

    1972 studio album by Frank Zappa

    Waka/Jawaka (also known as Waka/Jawaka — Hot Rats) is the fourth solo album, fifteenth album counting the work of his band the Mothers of Invention, by Frank Zappa, released in July 1972. The album is the jazz-influenced precursor to The Grand Wazoo (November 1972), and as the front cover indicates, a sequel of sorts to 1969's Hot Rats. According to Zappa, the title "is something that showed up on a ouija board at one time."[7]

    Songs

    [edit]

    "Big Swifty" is a jazz-fusion tune, similar to many of Zappa's pieces from the jazz period of his compositional timeline. It features many horns to achieve a thick brassy sound as well as room for improvisation and use of multiple time signatures. The tune initially alternates between 7
    8 and 3
    4 time signatures, soon settling on a 4
    4 swing feel for several extended solos. Known recorded live versions expanded rhythmic diversification to 11
    8 and rubato parts (e.g. live in Texas, 1973).[8]

    The track "It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal" is a strange tale of hallucinations sung by Sal Marquez and Janet Ferguson (the "tough-minded" groupie in 200 Motels). Sneaky Pete Kleinow's pedal steel guitar sets up a dream-like, smooth
