King Kong

Pela recomendação do Monster, posto esta sonzeira do Jean-Luc Ponty tocando composições do Zappa, com a participação do próprio. Ponty tocava na banda do Zappa e depois de algum tempo saiu para a carreira solo de sucesso. King Kong marca o fim da relação entre Ponty e Zappa, a partir dali nunca mais se falaram. Dá pra destacar o ritmo lento e pulsante de King Kong, a sintonia entre Ponty e Ernie Watts em Cigars, assim como o solo de Ernie e o wah-wah de Zappa em Head.

Monster, a próxima cê mesmo posta, beleza?
