A Lost Frank Zappa Album
This is an album I heard on it's original release in 1971. I think it introduced George Duke to Frank Zappa. It is truly a Frank Zappa album as it is (most) all his compostions and arrangements.

I was amazed that it does not get much recognition today, the music is reasonably priced when I feel it is highly collectable. Jean Luc shines throughout and is the instrumental focus, so the recording does belong to him.
