Composer, guitarist, singer, and bandleader Frank Zappa was a singular
musical figure during a performing and recording career that lasted from
the 1960s to the 90s. His disparate influences included doo wop music and
avant-garde classical music; although he led groups that could be called
rock & roll bands for much of his career, he used them to create a hybrid
style that bordered on jazz and complicated, modern serious music,
sometimes inducing orchestras to play along.
"Finer Moments" is a curious but mostly excellent compilation of (mostly)
instrumental odds and ends put together by FZ in 1972 that went (mostly)
unreleased until 2012. Disc one concentrates on the 1968-1969 Mothers. The
first four tracks are from a 1969 Royal Albert Hall show that was partially
documented in the film Uncle Meat. "Sleazette" is a great guitar solo, but
the Mozart piece loses quite a bit without the 'ballet' visuals.
"The Wailing Zombie Music" sounds part-composed/part-conducted
improvisation. "The Old Curiosity Shoppe" is a nice jam from 1971 featuring
some nice wah-wah alto sax from Ian Underwood and wicked soloing from FZ.
This also might be the first time Zappa excerpted the solo portion of a
tune and retitled it (as he did for nearly every track on the 'Shut Up N
Play Yer Guitar' series). In this case, it's probably "Little House I Used
to Live In." "Uncle Rebus" is another one of these, this time using the
solos from "King Kong" at the Ark in Boston in 1968 (previously released as
part of 'Beat the Boots!, Vol. 2').
