Played this on my 2nd grad recital! “Chunga’s Revenge” was also in the old illegal “Real Book”…. Zappa said something to the effect that after the sonic bludgeoning of the rest of the album, that the last should be a bit of relief. So he titled it thusly…. More of a modal tune than tonal. Definitely tonal chords, but the progression moves more like a Miles tune….

I suggest “G-Spot Tornado” from The Yellow Shark album. Zappa wrote it on a computer system called a synclavier, saying it was too difficult for humans to play, and so the 1st version appears on the Jazz From Hell album. Well, a German orchestra took up the challenge to play the “impossible” song with wonderful results.

As many have suggested you must listen to The Adventures of Gregory Peccary. Another song that is interesting from a composer's perspective is 'Andy'. It might sound like a pretty normal rock song, but the ways he twists and turns the motif would make Arnold Schoenberg start dancing.

This is one of my favorite albums, this tranquility ends what is a none stop blistering piece of work, the track is aptly named.

Yes, nice one too...the javelina that invented the calendar and drove a red Volkswagen... ...and "Billy The Mountain" too!

@@joergl562 Yes, exactly. In fact, Inca Roads, Billy the Mountain and The adventures of Greggery Peccary belong together in terms of conceptual continuity. Inca Roads tell about the Andes, but the vocal bridge after the guitar solo is almost the same as in Billy the Mountain. Considering the fact the Billy was a walking mountain, it could be that he originated from the Andes and came walking all the way to the area between Rosamond and Gorman. And of course he plays a role in Greggery Peccary again also.

Was Mr Keneally present? That dude rocks so much. I bet Mr Helvering would enjoy his music as well.

After "Inca Roads", this is a very conventional piece, so your next Zappa adventure should be the "Yellow Snow" suite.

Several colleges including UH Hilo have a Zappa program as part of their musical curriculum, and a successful Zappa night for the public. Franks son Dweezil performed with the UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra on Zappa night in 2019.
