Jazz from Hell

A polyphonic sampler and workstation, which was often referred to as a tapeless studio because of its ability to handle complete compositions from scratch.

So this is from his 1986 album called Jazz from Hell, G-Spot Tornado.

G-spot tornado.

Now, Frank Zappa's comment about the synclavia, because it could execute lightning-fast note bursts, erratic time signatures with millisecond precision...

all right we're gonna go from shanghai to another place but i have been we're gonna head back towards the european mainland with frank zappa he's gonna take us to san etienne central france just southwest of lyon

yeah another place tell us about jazz from

hell

yeah so jazz from hell oddly is the uh The final studio album that Zappa ever recorded in his lifetime, he basically said that the world was going to hell.

He was 40 years ahead of his time, I think, in many ways.

He basically said that we had the president from hell, we had the government from hell, we had everything.

So he decided that we may as well have jazz from hell.
