Frank Zappa a fost un compozitor, chitarist și producător american care, într-o carieră de peste 30 de ani, a creat opere în genuri de la rock și jazz până la compoziții orchestrale și musique concrète. A fost renumit pentru abordarea neconformistă, improvizații și viziunea satirică asupra culturii americane.
Compilația Waka/Wazoo a fost lansată în 2022 de casa de discuri Zappa Records, sub forma unei ediții Blu-ray cu cinci discuri. Setul include 57 de piese, printre care versiuni alternative și outtake-uri din înregistrările originale, cum ar fi Your Mouth, Big Swifty, Minimal Art sau Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus. Sunt de asemenea incluse fragmente din înregistrări live, inclusiv Winterland '72 Opening and Band Introductions, și demo-uri de George Duke.
