Made in the wake of Ponty's appearance on Zappa's jazz-rock masterpiece Hot Rats, these 1969 recordings were significant developments in both musicians' careers.

King Kong: Jean-Luc Ponty Plays the Music of Frank Zappa (or simply King Kong) is an album by French jazz fusion artist Jean-Luc Ponty first released in 1970 on Liberty Records' World Pacific Records subsidiary label. The album contains numerous selections Zappa had previously recorded either with the Mothers of Invention or under his own name, including:

"King Kong," originally included on Zappa's 1969 album Uncle Meat
"Idiot Bastard Son," from the Mothers' 1968 album We're Only in It for the Money
"Twenty Small Cigars," from Zappa's 1970 album Chunga's Revenge
"America Drinks and Goes Home," from the Mothers' 1967 album Absolutely Free

George Duke, who would eventually join Zappa and Ponty in the Mothers, is featured on piano on all tracks. Ernie Watts is featured on alto and tenor saxophone on all tracks except for "Music for Violin and Low Budget Orchestra". Zappa himself plays guitar on one selection, and Mothers members Ian Underwood (tenor sax) and Art Tripp (drums) contribute to the album as well.

Ripping Note

New release by Friday Music... The LP is alittle bit off-center, Beside this the pressing is great.
Kevin Gray did an excellent mastering job, The sound is great and clearly better than the CD.
I have no original pressing to compare.




All files are inside the folders.
