JO AMBROS - WANDERLUST


German jazz & rock guitarist Jo Ambros recorded Frank Zappa's 'Watermelon In Easter Hay'. The track got released on his "Wanderlust" album.

"Wanderlust" was Jo's first solo album. It got released in 2003 on the DML record label.
It's a very fine album.

Jo Ambros' rendition of 'Watermelon' is impressive, to say the least. The solo is of course played on the guitar, but the arpeggio chord progression is played on marimba. Add bass, drums, and an impressive improvisation and you've got almost seven minutes of absolute joy.
Excellent!
