Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra

The Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra was a group of Hollywood session musicians organized by Frank Zappa in 1967 to record music for his first solo album Lumpy Gravy.[1] Some of these musicians are thought to have worked together in various combinations under the leadership of Ken Shroyer as far back as 1959.[2][3] Lumpy Gravy peaked at 159 on the Billboard 200 in 1968.[4] In 1975, Zappa organized another group using the same name which involved a few of the same musicians.This group recorded music for his album Orchestral Favorites, released in 1979.
