CD

This CD was recorded on August. 8th, 1973 Live at the Red Noodle Waikiki, Hawai.

Napoleon Murphy Brock with Gregarious Movement.

Napoleon Murphy Brock was discovered by Frank Zappa in 1972 whil playing R&B covers at a Waikiki, Hawaii nightclub. A few months later, Brock was in Zappa’s band and stayed on for four years, after which he put together a group called Gregarious Movement. This live recording from 1977 captures Napi’s band doing what they did best - putting their own imprint on soul classics.

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?

Napoleon Murphy Brock has put together a CD of pure brilliance and beauty. Teaming with spiritual wonderment, the music has a message for all humans on this planet!
