Neonfire

Greg Russo's original songs, along with a cover of a lesser-known Dylan tune (If You Gotta Go, Go Now), are realized by musicians connected to the music of Frank Zappa. The result is a CD full of stellar performances and highly melodic songs, with real people playing real instruments - remember those days?

Guests include Candy Zappa (Frank's sister), Nolan Porter (who recorded with members of The Mothers Of Invention just after their breakup), acclaimed mid-'70s Zappa vocalist Napoleon Murphy Brock, '60s surf instrumentalists The Tornadoes, André Cholmondeley (lead and rhythm guitars) and Glenn Leonard (drums) from the noted FZ tribute band Project/Object, drummer Jon Braun from Pennsylvania band The Insidious Rays, violinist extraordinaire Joe Deninzon and trumpeter Dave Ballou.

With Greg Russo on keyboards, his brother Jeff on bass, André Cholmondeley on all guitars and the above musicians on the rest of the album, Neonfire has created a unique sound influenced by music from the '60s to the present.

Napoleon Murphy Brock Featuring Gregarious 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 from 1977 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.

 
The tracks are:
 
Skin Tight
Heaven Must Be Like This
Let's Stay Together
O-o-h Child
Fire
