RICCARDO FASSI TANKIO BAND - PLAYS ZAPPA - THE RETURN OF THE FAT CHICKEN

Remember Riccardo Fassi's 1995 album? Riccardo Fassi Tankio Band Plays The Music Of Frank Zappa" ?
Well, he's back with another (superb) tribute album. Subtitled "The Return Of The Fat Chicken", the tracklist counts ten Zappa compositions, the George Duke classic 'Uncle Remus' and a couple of intros and outros composed by Riccorado Fassi and Antonello Salis.

This is great. A beautiful package (CD, jewel case in a slipcase) and a some great arrangements. Except maybe for the slow version of 'G-Spot Tornado'... I'll have to give that another listen...

And also featuring the fabulous Napoleon Murphy Brock on vocals on a couple of tracks.
What else do you need to know?

An essential album for the Zappa freak.
