I've been listening to Frank Zappa's Apostrophe (') album for a while now, and I heard that Jack Bruce played on some songs. Does anyone know which ones he played on? |

That whole album is absolutely smokin' hot, right up there with 'Overnite Sensation' and 'Live at the Roxy'. Jack Bruce was so good with Zappa, I wonder if there are some long lost tapes floating around out there with the two of them jamming. Jack had the chops to hang with Zappa, I wish I had 10% of his skills!.

EDIT: Thinking of something else... yeah, Jack played only on Apostrophe.

I remember Zappa complaining about the whole session somewhere ? |
