Looking forward to this. Great review!

Everyone knows it was 1967 anyway

What a brilliant thread, if I say so myself. It’s interesting that most of these arrangers I have never heard of. But I reckon I would recognise songwriters’ names more (if they weren’t the artist). My recor […]

Gene Page arranged the strings on this. Listen to how he brilliant works around the vocal

Zappa’s attitude to jazz was always that he hated the music but loved the musicians’ ability to improvise on non-jazz (ie his) compositions. See also Steely Dan.
