others include:

Robert Earl Keen - Gravitational Forces
Focus - Moving Waves
Dread Zeppelin - Un Led Ed
McCoy Tyner - Echoes of a Friend
Quincy Jones - Walking in Space

Zappa’s in a class above.

[real saxophonist]

In college, the marching band did several in-house arrangements of Zappa tunes.

Of those you mention, McCoy Tyner is the only one I met.

His album Infinity with Michael Brecker is among my favorites.
