I used to jam this for hours and hours in my dorm room in Germany when I was in the service 40 years ago. Everyone thought I was nuts that I wasn't listening to Pink Floyd or some other mainstream, formulaic stuff but Frank is and always will be the most unique composer, musician and spokesman for music ever.

@@nathanielbrewster7238 was making reference to the music itself. Floyd is melodic (&, FWIW, I was referencing a SPECIFIC time/album in my life - "The Wall"), and maybe even brilliantly so ("Wish You Were Here" is one of the greatest songs to sing along to ever IMO), but they are formulaic in structure. ESPECIALLY compared to FZ, who also composed some of the greatest melodies ever along w/ stuff so UN-formulaic as to put him in another genre (his own) altogether.

@Frans Barten - 50 for me as of 2022! Still my go to choice of music! I still to this day hear new versions and arrangements of Frank's playing, plus now I'm hearing lots of covers of his music, and I saw Dweezil a couple of times. The modern day composer refuses to die!
If Miles Davis is the instigator of jazz fusion, Frank Zappa is its rock counterpart. This album is Zappa's "Kind Of Blue"! And "The Gumbo Variations" is a nugget of twentieth-century music history !
Interesting insights. Yes, Miles' first "electric" album, In A Silent Way, came out just months before Frank's Hot Rats. But the jazz-rock fusion genre didn't truly take form in Miles' music until Bitches Brew and Jack Jackson, a year or so later. I've never read or heard Miles talk about Frank Zappa and his music, but I'm certain that he thought greatly of it, particularly Hot Rats. In the early 1970s, living in Greenwich Village, I used to regularly run into many of the great jazz performers of that era, such as Stanley Clarke, John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, and Narada Michael Walden. I know that they all thought highly of Frank's work. So, in my book, Frank Zappa deserves primary credit for creating the jazz-rock fusion genre. And Frank definitely made rock better, as this rock performance by Edward Van Halen (a friend of Frank's) and some jazz musicians you may recognize illustrates: ruclips.net/video/I0EwfXA-apE/видео.html
I remember the first time hearing Hot Rats as if were yesterday. December 1969 in Albert Lea, Minnesota after play rehearsal. About ten of us in a college dorm room built for two. A revelation!! Music would never be the same!!!
I like Mexican rancheras, but then, they're quite alike Finnish dance music, so it doesn't bother the neighbours. Doesn't upset. Both are actually Bohemian.
Hey, hermano...I, too, was your neighbor in San Luis Potosi and I guarantee you that, while listening to this, I didn't need any peyote, nor grass, neither acid...maybe a shot of aguardiente !!!...and the jaguar always showed up !
when my mom died i bought a saxophone. i learned "summertime" that day. when i was painting her house i wrote "FREAK OUT" on the garage door. she freaked out. the next day i painted over it, but did not sand it. you could read it in the right light. she freaked out every night when the car lights highlighted it... i mad a sign on mothers day at an art car event saying i had three mothers. earth, JOANN, and the band... i could never play this but i would tag along with it.... THANK YOU !!!...rockettebob in reno
I just recently sent a friend in SL (Second Life) a note card with some of Frank's orchestral favorites lol And this being one of my favorites this was on the list;) ..thank you
An amazing song on a fantastic album, I just saw Dweezil recreate this album live...what a great performance. This particular version (for those that care :)) is actually from the CD, but I like the open sax solo on the LP version much better! The great Scheila Gonzalez played the solo and it sounded closer to the LP version (what a treat!); Dweezil's band puts on a remarkable show and I think his dad would be proud!
I think the CD version here is the whole take, while the LP version (that I purchased in 1973, soon 50 years ago) is an edited version of the same solo, where Frank (and maybe Ian) stitched together a shorter, more compact solo.
Hot Rats was a sensation at that time, with silly music from Beatles, Herman Hermits? ,CCR, Donovan, Mama's and her family..etc. This music was far ahead of his time. At that time you had pop, rock, blues, soul, jazz and........Zappa.. At lonely level. R.I.P Frank, you showed me another world, influenced my taste, my whole being, the next 50 years..
Living in that time must've been awesome, great music will live on forever though. For the past 20 minutes i've been listening to Zappa here on yt, i gotta say his style is very unique. For a bit there I was unsure of what to listen to anymore, everything sounds generally the same after a while, but I think I found that missing piece. RIP Frank. Cheers
@@anathematizedbymegadeth9221 The best music was made in the late sixties and sevennties.. 'Living in those decates'was exciting. Almost each hour something happened..The 80's started with the ego-materialistic Golf VW generation (Europe). Music was dead, and never came a live anymore.Disco, rap, hiphop, house, trance , dance, techno. Its the DEAD generation, living with stress.: scholing , carreer , morgidge, debts..and drugs etc.
@@populierendreef reminds me of a sabbath song, 'You work your life away, what do they give? You are only killing yourself to live..........Take a look around, what do you see? PAIN, SUFFERING, AND MISERY.'
the fact is that this album was born obviously as a studio album, though jammings and alternates. progressively frank built his albums more from live sessions he had mania of recordings, so joe's garage and sheik yerbouti were made from selected material he could choice assembling the material. for that the method changed and is not possible to comparate different albums. this observation a part, how could you comparate hot rats, apostrophe, overnite sensation..... it is not sane, nor looking at some point
The Gumbo thing rules...hot rats...yeah that's ultimat cutest musical stuff...great album...great googelymoogely...and with Don Van Vliet a.k.a. Captain Beefheart on "Willy the pimp"...holy mowly 😆 👍 👍 💪
FRANk Zaubert irgendwie immer eine geile ineress. Athmosphäre hin . egal wie " verrückt "" die Begleit-Instrumente . - UND ERST DER R H Y T H E M , , AMAZING !!! - DANKE f LOAD. FRITZ
I'm completely virgin to what concernes to Frank's deeds. One thing i'm sure is that is work, is like, sublime, explendit, amazing, and above all...genuin!! Frank in my opinion deserves a place on the walk of fame, 'cause what to concernes about really musicians ahead of they time of they own existence, He for sure should be there! Whith no doughts (damn my english), tell you what, thats music, really gorgeus sound to who knowes what music is all about, many thks bro, all the best
I think Nico meant they were both unique in an otherworldly way, not that they were like each other. Lots of great musicians have graced us with their gift over the years, but only a few of those completely reinvented the genre in their own vision. Zappa...Coltrane...Hendrix...Miles Davis...etc.
The original edit on vinyl will always be my favorite, shows what a brilliant editor he was also. These solos ramble on, dissonant , badly connected. The original editing solidifies the content.
I thought this was an outtake til I read it's a remix. Onlt heard this from vinyl....so this is the CD version, so to speak?? Incredible song, album, man
When I first tried to play a tenor sax (and yes, I know Ian U is playing alto on this) it was The Gumbo Variations that I attempted. I was, of course, crap.
Hi, although Ian used to play alto in The Mothers, I'm is playing tenor on this incredibly wonderful jam. I can guess it from some lower notes you can't play on alto. This is a great masterpiece from the beginning to the final, Rich in inventions and creative soluzione. Absolutely touching my soul.
I have an old Pioneer turntable, silver faced Yamaha Surround Sound receiver, with old Klipsch speakers in my kitchen. if I want my wife to leave. I crank Frank!
Adblock / Adblock plus my friend... I get pissed off enough when the tube pauses to ask if I'm still watching... it interrupted an awesome FZ solo the other day and I wanted to jump through the screen & strangle the algorithm !
Cara, você não vai me dizer que caiu também nesta mesmo terra que o Frank, vai?! Muito bom post! F Z muito longe de todos os demais! Primeira vez que ouço este magnífico trabalho do grande!!...obrigadão! Sem dúvida F Z é de outro mundo, consegue mesmo nos "tripar" seja onde,...grande!!
My girlfriend tolerates my undying love for Zappa’s music. I played along with this song on bass for a few minutes and she was almost willing to listen to more!
to the ten people who do not like this , just don't listen. full disclosure; this is dave not Fran C. she probably wouldn't listen to this but recognize the talented original score and bass and sax jam as real....why are people compelled to dislike any artist and their work? # just don"t listen...

Over a half century old and not even slightly "dated" over time. Frank created his own parallel universe with sound... I visit whenever I can!
ALL THE TIME ,YES YES YES ,ALWAYS ,KISSES
For sure !!
YES.
This year I celebrate 50 years listening to Zappa. Always # 1!
20 years for me 😁
Interesting how you put that. It's as rare as picking a soul mate to marry by and enjoy 50 years together.
young!
40 for my

Hot Rats was the 1st album of Frank's I listened to when I was 17 or 18, just blew me away, I was never the same since. TY FZ
@@gary1490 ...Yes, Nobel prize to Zappa !
same for me
I was 13 I was hooked
I have been listening to frank for for43 years and I find music of his I never heard before. Always a nice surprise.
Ian, man, he just blows my mind
Love Zappa, love Mingus...For me, this track is like Frank paying his respects to Mingus.
I was driving my neighbors totally insane blasting this at top volume in 1970 when I was 13 years old in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.
Best jam ever.
I like Mexican rancheras, but then, they're quite alike Finnish dance music, so it doesn't bother the neighbours.
Doesn't upset. Both are actually Bohemian.
Hombre, I was your neighbor back in San Luis. You didnt drive us crazy. We ate peyote and was feeling pretty good. Until the jaguar showed up.
@@Mr.Monta77 Right on. I got out ahead of the drug war. Pre-cartel, Mexico was freaking paradise.
Hey, hermano...I, too, was your neighbor in San Luis Potosi and I guarantee you that, while listening to this, I didn't need any peyote, nor grass, neither acid...maybe a shot of aguardiente !!!...and the jaguar always showed up !
WOW h , FUNNY !!
Sembra impossibile che siano già passati 50 anni da quendo questo pezzo è stato inciso... SEMPLICEMENTE FANTASTICO
This is my favorite Zappa song. It is what I listen to while driving alone. (My wife hates it.)
Know how you feel. Probably mine too . And I too have a wife , and three daughters , who just don't get it .
Sounds like they need some cannabis 😏
I'm 'terrible' that way: you don't love Zappa ? Then I can't love you ! Always have been that way .....
Right with you on that Tom. My wife can't stand Zappa either! ;)
well, then - why is she your wife?
and Sugarcane Harris, too! this is wonderful.
Always loved how Zappa panned the bass and guitar on this track. Great stereo image!
I was a young Teen when this came out, it blew me away, this recording is even better than the LP. Masterful...
1969 chilling doing its Woodstock thing.
Meanwhile Zappa, Underwood, and Sugarcane produce the jam of the century.
No word ,speechless so awsome every day to soooooo ever.
Zappa declined Woodstock saying "there's too much mud", classic Frank
when my mom died i bought a saxophone. i learned "summertime" that day. when i was painting her house i wrote "FREAK OUT" on the garage door. she freaked out. the next day i painted over it, but did not sand it. you could read it in the right light. she freaked out every night when the car lights highlighted it... i mad a sign on mothers day at an art car event saying i had three mothers. earth, JOANN, and the band... i could never play this but i would tag along with it.... THANK YOU !!!...rockettebob in reno
Now that's jamming
I just recently sent a friend in SL (Second Life) a note card with some of Frank's orchestral favorites lol And this being one of my favorites this was on the list;) ..thank you
and folks.. please leave poor Gail alone. she stood by Frank all those years, and imagine how hard that must have been. bless both of them.
They didn't understand Coltrane either. These are musical talents above the rest.
An amazing song on a fantastic album, I just saw Dweezil recreate this album live...what a great performance. This particular version (for those that care :)) is actually from the CD, but I like the open sax solo on the LP version much better! The great Scheila Gonzalez played the solo and it sounded closer to the LP version (what a treat!); Dweezil's band puts on a remarkable show and I think his dad would be proud!
Where did you see Dweezil? Headed to Edmonton Sunday to see him. Saw his dad in Hawaii in 73 ....21st birthday!
Yeah.. we saw them in St Charles, IL last week. Her solo on this was freakin' magnificent!!!
I think the CD version here is the whole take, while the LP version (that I purchased in 1973, soon 50 years ago) is an edited version of the same solo, where Frank (and maybe Ian) stitched together a shorter, more compact solo.
I always thought that Ian Underwood played that tenor solo. Are you sure about Sheila Gonzalez playing on it?

the fact is that this album was born obviously as a studio album, though jammings and alternates. progressively frank built his albums more from live sessions he had mania of recordings, so joe's garage and sheik yerbouti were made from selected material he could choice assembling the material. for that the method changed and is not possible to comparate different albums. this observation a part, how could you comparate hot rats, apostrophe, overnite sensation..... it is not sane, nor looking at some point

simply wonderful at any time

Fantastic.
Grandioso....
Great stuff. The advertisement Frank would frown on lol
he'll be remembered as a composer of American music someday.
As Bernstein,Gershwin,M.Davis,Coltrane,Scott Jopplin,and so many more ...
How about today?
This is fucking awesome. It's just as I remember from the original vinyl. You rock dude!

I heard a new group on the radio doing no trouble everyday , I was thinkin where have i heard this before? dont give up guys !!!!! stoned
I think Zappa was Mozart reincarnate and this time wanted to rock!
yes ... he is one of the greatest musicians of the world.
Graham McKenzie...Could easily be !
Zappa was light years ahead of Mozart....trust me.
Like he didn't rock!
That felt good. Thanks.

Love the Gumbo Variations but then loved the whole but then loved the Hot Rats album, I went to see Zappa over 15 times and no I was not a groupie lol
