Napoleon Brock Murphy/ Gregarious Movement - After Frank: 1st Movement

Napoleon Murphy Brock was discovered by Frank Zappa in 1973 while playing R&B covers at a Waikiki, Hawaii nightclub. A few months later, Brock was in Zappa's band and stayed on for three years. Napoleon put together Gregarious Movement shortly afterward. This live recording captures Napi's band doing what they did best - putting their own imprint on soul classics. 'After Frank - 1st Movement' is the first CD in Napoleon's archival series of recordings done before or after his time with Frank Zappa. Brock recorded with Zappa in 1983 and did some live shows in 1984 before leaving music for over a decade. Since 1999, Napoleon has performed Zappa's music with Bogus Pomp, Project Object and many others, and he was the featured vocalist on the 2006 Zappa Plays Zappa (ZpZ) tour.
