NEW CD BY NAPOLEON MURPHY BROCK

An historical CD will be released in December 2009 entitled “This is What Frank Zappa Heard - Just in Case You Were Wondering - Live at the Red Noodle in Waikiki, Hawaii”.

On August 8th, 1973, Frank Zappa was alerted by his road manager, Marty Perellis, that an incredible band with an extraordinary lead singer was performing downtown to a standing room only audience … and that it might be wise that he come and see this for himself.

When Zappa went to the club and watched the show, he saw a young talent sing, dance, play sax, flute and keyboards, in a manner that clearly made it appear that he was having more fun than even the other patrons in the club.

After two hours of observing and listening to this young man and his very disciplined band of musicians, he introduced himself as Frank Zappa, and the young man introduced himself as Napoleon Murphy Brock. The next words out of Zappa’s mouth were, “You are my new lead vocalist.” (Check napoleonmbrock.com – INTERVIEWS - for more details of these conversations.)

The rest is history, as these releases attest to:

  • APOSTROPHE
  • ROXY & ELSEWHERE
  • ONE SIZE FITS ALL
  • BONGO FURY
  • YOU CAN’T DO THAT ON STAGE ANYMORE – LIVE IN HELSINKI FINLAND

  • A TOKEN OF HIS EXTREME (DVD)
  • SHEIK YERBOUTI (All Background Parts)
  • THE EVIL PRINCE (From “THINGFISH)
  • Grammy Award Winning Performance ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA (DVD-2006)

  2. who are we ordering from? There is no mention of this CD on NMB's website? Who will be autographing the CD?
    I am very interested but a little confused as NMB has made NO mention of this yet?

  3. I got the flyer from Napoleon at the Hamburg concert that he did with Sheik Yerbouti about a month ago.
    It's his address, and it's his e-mail address.
    This is no bogus advertisment...
    And I'm sure that he will be signing the CD as well.
