Jazz from Hell was Zappa's final studio album released in his lifetime; for the remaining seven years of his life, he would only release live concert albums, although the posthumous Civilization Phaze III (1994) was completed shortly before his death.
Two music videos were made for the album: "Night School"'s video featured clips from the making of his 1971 film 200 Motels, and "G-Spot Tornado"'s video featured footage Zappa shot in the early 1960s at a county fair.
