Waka/Jawaka (also known as Waka/Jawaka — Hot Rats) is the fourth solo album by Frank Zappa, released in July 1972. The album is the jazz-influenced precursor to The Grand Wazoo (November 1972), and as the front cover indicates, a sequel of sorts to 1969's Hot Rats. According to Zappa, the title “is something that showed up on a ouija board at one time.“ 00:00 - Big Swifty 17:22 - Your Mouth 20:34 - It Just Might Be a One-Shot Deal 24:51 - Waka/Jawaka Musicians on the album Frank Zappa – guitar (all tracks, including acoustic guitar on track 3), percussion (1), electric bed springs (3), uncredited vocals (3) Sal Marquez – trumpets (all tracks), vocals (2, 3), chimes (1, 4), flugelhorn (4) Erroneous (Alex Dmochowski) – electric bass (all tracks), vocals (3), fuzz bass (4) Aynsley Dunbar – drums (all tracks), washboard (3), tambourine (3) Tony Duran – slide guitar (1, 2, 3), vocals (3) George Duke – ring-modulated & echoplexed electric piano (1), tack piano (2) Mike Altschul – baritone saxophone (2, 4), piccolo (2, 4), bass flute (4), bass clarinet (4), tenor sax (4) Kris Peterson – vocals (2, 4) Joel Peskin – tenor sax (2) Jeff Simmons – Hawaiian guitar (3), vocals (3) Sneaky Pete Kleinow – pedal steel guitar solo (3) Janet Ferguson – vocals (3) Don Preston – piano (4), Minimoog (4) Billy Byers – trombone (4), baritone horn (4) Ken Shroyer – trombone (4), baritone horn (4) Production Producer: Frank Zappa Engineers: Marshall Brevitz, Kerry McNabb Mastering: Frank Zappa Supervisor: Marshall Brevitz Concept: Sal Marquez Creative consultant: Sal Marquez Design: Cal Schenkel Cover Design: Cal Schenkel Cover illustration: Marvin Mattelson Illustrations: Marvin Mattelson Photography: Philip Schartz Back cover: Philip Schwartz Packaging: Cal Schenkel Repackaging: Ferenc Dobronyi
