Dunbar was later the drummer for Frank Zappa, playing on the solo albums Apostrophe (') and Waka/Jawaka, and the Mothers' albums The Grand Wazoo, Fillmore East – June 1971, and Just Another Band from L.A., as well as the film 200 Motels.
A word about Aynsley Dunbar, a rock drummer of unusual skill and taste who adapts his style expertly to the music here. On the title track he drives the ensemble as if he had been born a big-band drummer.
The Grand Wazoo, the longest song on the album, is a funky jam with great horn breaks intersperced to spice things up. Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus is a delightfully pompous number, and Eat That Question boasts some of George Duke and Aynsley Dunbar's best performances anywhere.

Alain Dister hob die Rolle des Schlagzeugers Aynsley Dunbar hervor, der „der Band eine für die Idiome des Pop sehr charakteristische rhythmische Pulsation [verlieh]: ein kräftiger Beat, der jeden Solisten antreibt und auf dem die ganze Rhythmusstruktur der Gruppe zu beruhen scheint.“
