I have an old recording which I got from a BBC transmission a long time ago. Frank Zappa is playing in a (BBC?) studio with his band of the time.....he is wearing brown shoes and yellow socks...the band has two drummers and a bloke with the biggest saxophone you have ever seen.

There is some fiddly intro stuff, during which FZ says that he knows the English like traditional jazz....they play some classical music in a jazz fashion.....

After that the band goes into a fantastic instrumental.....which features the bloke on the big sax. He sort of attacks it as opposed to playing it.

Anyway, I have loads of FZ stuff....but I can't find any reference to this one at all.....I can email an mp3 clip if anyone wants it...but does anyone recognise the music from my (poor) description??

Thanks in advance.....
