5 stars One of the best Zappa's solo album, and surely the best of his early days.

Perhaps any other abum represents the variated facets of Zappa better than this one: the classic brassy arrangements are at their peak, and the endless exploration of music in dilated tracks are so enjoyable and fine, not being sometimes boring and repetitive, as Waka Jawaka, for example. The self-tittled track represents Zappa at his peak, among other highlights like Eat That Question and Blessed Relief.

This album shows that is posible to create a mostly instrumental masterpiece with just five tracks on it... and 37 minutes is enough. The Grand Wazoo is undoubtely a must-have to any Avant Prog music collection, because this is an essential release from the most succesful Avant Prog artist.
