Joe Deninzon recorded Frank Zappa's 'Magic Fingers' on his "Live Wires" album.

He also sat in with Project/Object on various occasions for many years, and can be heard on their "Absolutely Live" album.

March 2005, Joe Deninzon added:
"I moved to New york in 1997, and had been a Zappa fan for many years, so naturally, anytime I saw an add for a Project/Object or Ed Palermo big band concert, i would make it a point to be there. Speaking of which, I've also sat in with Ed palermo's band a number of times.
We do perform Frank Zappa's 'Magic Fingers' often at our shows. we also play 'King Kong' and 'Willie the Pimp', occasionally. With my acoustic projects, I love to play 'Blessed Relief'. Certain songs intrigue me, and I love turning people on to certain music in an artist's catalogue that I feel has been overlooked. 'Magic Fingers' has stuck with me since the first time I heard it."

Besides Stratospheerius, Joe Deninzon has (at lesst) two other projects: Erbium and Metro Strings.
Erbium is a unique band fronted by bassist/composer Dan Cooper that features original music and prog rock treatments of works by Satie, Lizst, Prokofiev, and more..
Metro Strings is my new original project, a string trio with drums that features Mazz Swift on electric violin and vocals, David Gotay on Electric Cello and vocals, yours truly on electric violin and vocals, and special guest Benn Gramm on drums.
