Sleep dirt is a duet by Zappa and James bird legs Youman. Youman plays a progression of broken chords in 12/8. The chords in the transcribed bars go as (rock notation): Bar 1 Bm9, bar 2 G#m-5, bars 3-5 D and Gm, bars 6-7 Dm-5, bar 8 Bm9, bar 9 C#m3rd add minor 9th as passing through note, bar 10 Bm9. Zappa seldom plays solos over such progressions with some less common jazz type chords, Sleep dirt sounds quite exceptional in that sense. The soloing itself is unmistakably Zappa, the opening lick of bar 10 for instance is similar to the first Black napkins notes.
