Around 2001, there was a fusion group led by Jonas Hellborg (bass), with Shawn Lane (guitar) and Selvaganesh (percussion). They performed a concert in Paris, joined by V. Selvaganesh's brothers V. Umashankar and V. Umamahesh. (The three are sons of Vikku Vinayakram, the ghatam player with John McLaughlin's original Shakti). This is a DVD only release.

Since the WPRB barge studio does not have a DVD player, I needed to bring one of my own and patch it into the board. It seems to work. :-)

Frank Zappa has several musical styles. This track fits into his jazz fusion bucket.

There are a few editions of this song. Each varies slightly for no obvious reason. On the CD version I am airing, the horn section is more prominent in the mix, but the guitar solo has been altered from the 1977 LP version. The song was also issued as the title track to the 3-CD set called "Läther" with the original guitar solo, but a muted horn section.

Jazz fusion group active from 1975-1980, 1992-1999. This is one of the few releases without Phil Collins on drums. (Phil was probably busy holding Genesis together during the "...And Then There Were Three..." period.)

Axis is a Greek pop / rock band who relocated to France in 1971. During their history they released 3 albums and several singles, changing and becoming experimental prog rock on their eponymous third album (from which I am playing here).

Recorded 22 September 1974, in Helsinki, Finland. Zappa would use much of this concert recording for what would become the "studio" version of this song on the LP "One Size Fits All".

Formed in 1975, the group was mostly the same as Hatfield and The North, but with a different bass player: Dave Stewart (keyboards), Phil Miller (guitar), John Greaves (bass) from Henry Cow, Pip Pyle (drums). Plus guests. Occasional members/collaborators have included Alan Gowen, Bill Bruford, and Steve Hillage. Disbanded in 1981.

The band got its name from the 'National Health Service' issued eyeglasses worn by Dave Stewart. 🤓
