Since it appears that Rykodisc and the Zappa Family Trust cannot reach
an agreement about releasing material from Frank's vault, Rykodisc has
resorted to repackaging the music they do have access to in order to
keep Zappa on the retail radar. Ultimately, these efforts won't appeal
to fans (except obsessive completists), because they already have
everything, but instead they are aimed at ensnaring the curious
consumer. To this end, the Threesome collections are well-thought-out:
Take three albums that bear some sort of thematic resemblance and offer
them at a midline price with newly created box artwork by the legendary
Cal Schenkel. Threesome, Vol. 2 is also well-thought-out, but groups
two of Frank's more overlooked albums (Waka/Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo)
with Hot Rats, his jazz-rock tour de force. Hot Rats showed Zappa to be
one of the finest guitar players around, while showcasing his writing
and arranging skills. Waka/Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo (except for two
short tracks on Waka/Jawaka) were Zappa's short-lived experiments with
big-band jazz. Performed with a large ensemble made up of some of
L.A.'s finest studio hired guns, these albums take the energy and drive
of the Hot Rats material and wed them to incredible horn arrangements
(Zappa never got enough credit as a dynamite arranger). This box set
shows Frank Zappa at his absolute jazziest (great for non-purist jazz
fans), as well as proving that there's way more to his talent than
satire and dirty lyrics.
