Frank Zappa - 1976 - Dirty Love with Bianca Odin - The Spectrum in Philadelphia.
Philly ’76 is a live album by Frank Zappa, recorded on October 29, 1976 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The live band featured on the recording included Bianca Odin on vocals and keyboards, who only toured with Zappa’s band for a few weeks in the fall of 1976. One cut from this concert (“Wind Up Workin’ in a Gas Station“) was released on You Can’t Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 6 in 1992. Prior to the release of Philly ’76, no other recordings featuring Bianca Odin had been officially released.
Critics regard Philly ’76 as a unique entry in the Zappa discography, largely due to Lady Bianca. Michael Schell wrote “It’s hard to overstate just how significant her presence is in mitigating the most troublesome effects of Zappa’s lyrics. Simply having a woman singing the lead on a track like Dirty Love dramatically softens its impression compared to Zappa’s own snide and rather sinister-sounding delivery on other albums…Black Napkins is special thanks to Bianca’s wordless voice solo, distinguished by her rapid shifts from chest to head voice, and even a few multiphonics. It’s the only Zappa track I can think of with this kind of prominent jazz-style solo from a female singer.“ concluded “Bianca’s gospel tinged vocals add much to songs like Dirty Love…The set is weighted toward Zappa’s pop side, with the only true prog moments being The Purple Lagoon. While I wouldn’t recommend this as a Zappa starting point, it is an excellent addition to a collection.“
