"Little Dots is the audio sequel to Imaginary Diseases - released in 2005. It consists of additional music compiled from master tapes that were handpicked and worked on by the Maestro himself. All masters were transferred at The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen in 2004. Most of these performances were scattered amongst various reels, some incomplete, all found in The Vault. Frank would work with material from this line-up on and off, but sadly nothing was ever officially released during his lifetime. Imaginary Diseases was the first release to feature the “Petit Wazoo”, a short-lived 10-piece ensemble with an emphasis on brass and woodwind instrumentation. (with maybe even a little steel drum on the side…)
To quote Gail Zappa: “This is the 10 Piece Band as ordained by FZ who also called it the Mothers of Invention, although at this point in time and space this entitlement was more a marketing device and part of the conceptual continuity. For everyone on the other side of the speaker cabinets however, it will always be the Petit Wazoo.”
A tour was booked that took the band through the U.S. & Canada during the end of October through December, 1972. During this tour, many new compositions were introduced for the first time. “Little Dots,” the piece, makes it’s debut on this release. “Cosmik Debris” is the first version which predates the issued master on APOSTROPHE(’) in 1974. “Rollo” can now be heard in it’s initial and complete three-movement form. There were also many instances where Frank would challenge the group to on-the-spot improvisations, or just hit ‘em with a good ol’ nasty blues as evident on “Kansas City Shuffle”.
