This is one of my favorite Zappa albums. It was this band with George Duke, Chester Thompson, Ruth Underwood, Ralph Humphrey and the always amazing Napolean Murphy Brock that seemed to take Zappas music to a different place than other bands he had. I would buy this CD just for the song (Village of the Sun)but it is packed with many gems along side it. It is Franks amazing compostional skill at work and the talent of the fore mentioned players that can pull it off and they are doing it LIVE baby. Something that is really missing in todays performers can be found right here if you really want to look. A must for all Zappa fans and a great one for first time Zappa listeners too. Get it, don't hesitate
