FZ is the best

Been there, seen&heared this amazing gig at zappanale. This band is smoking hot 🔥 Music is the best! Thanx a lot Frank

Hey that is great thanks for sharing!

"Go get your violin!"

Scott Tunes has a great stage presence for Zappa music. He really makes it fun.

Excellent. Beautiful. Wonderful.

Saw him with King Crimson at the St. Pete Bayfront Center 50 years ago. It was great. Opening act was Frampton's Camel. My favorite King Crimson albums are from the Fripp, Wetton, Bruford era. Larks Tongue in Aspic ( which I bought the same day I got Mahavishnu Orchestra album Birds of Fire. I will never forget hearing those two albums that day 50 years ago, and still listen to) Red, Starless and Bible Black.

Hope you all enjoy this! Some extra thanks as well to Tom Trapp for his amazing work on arranging most of the FZ works for us. <3

Großen Applaus auch von mir aus München ! Toll das es Menschen wie Euch gibt !

Thank you! I'm used to save on my private list any Zappa Live performance in order to practice daily my sound on Guitar with all the Mothers. ❤

Boy and girls, just a reminder : The man you see before you, Napoleon Murphy Brock, is, at the time of this performance, 81 years old. I repeat, EIGHTY (Bleepin')-ONE years old!! I realize that he performed nearly all of these tunes professionally for several years-more than 50 YEARS AGO-and managed to stay active in various "cover bands" over the years since. However, to be able to carry a tune like 'The Idiot Bastard Son' (1:03:10) without a painful (but understandable) reach or frazzled note, and further include some excellent Zappachops on both tenor sax and flute is simply beyond comprehension. Does this guy camp out in a cryogenic capsule when not on stage?

excellent show but whoever posted it needs to know how to properly time stamp songs as these are not the proper time stamps for each song. Just saw Dweezil 2 weeks ago and this is miles ahead of what his teenage combo is doing. God bless Napoleon for keeping it alive. Great job by band and whoever recorded this.

Dare I say some versions better than the originals? Course I can because it’s true !!

David just keeps getting better, what a truly great talent. The mighty Crim were at their best with David Cross ❤

Amazing and great music until 22:22 and then wham oh they began Larks Tongue by KC one of my all time favourite ALBUMS. I didn’t even remember that Cross was with KC. This is an unbelievable moment with destiny. Thank you for nirvana again! GBG NO EDITS.

Thanks for sharing this! Amazing quality!

I will mute and never buy anything that pops up in an ad that interrupts a music clip. It's like putting a turd on a plate with your meal.

Forgot how good the Plastic People track is and how well it gets stuck in the head. Nice to see that the guy who provided those unique vocals is still in good form almost 50 years after the release of that album.

58:22 when he saw the full moon.

San Jose-based singer and keyboardist, Nick Chargin expended a great deal of effort, over a span of the last two years, to reinvigorate the music of Frank Zappa, as delivered by Frank’s hand-picked frontman of the 1970s: San Jose’s one and only, Napoleon Murphy Brock (aka “Napi.”) This effort resulted in the recent debut performance of at San Jose’s Art Boutiki Gallery. Nick Chargin (formerly of the Blissninnies, among other bands) gathered a cohort of extremely talented and musically adept to support the effort of presenting this much-loved but often challenging material. As bandleader, Chargin offered Napoleon the opportunity to jump backward in time and be the face of the music. The Stinkfoot Orchestra featured a blazing six-piece horn section with John Hassan (baritone saxophone), Jo Major (tenor and soprano saxophone), Paul Degen (saxophone/flute) Mike McWilliams (trumpet/flugelhorn), Kevin Kono (trumpet) and Mark “DBone” DeSimone (trombone). The orchestra’s rhythm section consisted of masterful percussion and vibraphonist Dillon Vado, ace-drummer Michael Palladino and rocking bassist Josh Baker, along with the exceptionally talented guitarist Tomek Sikora who delivered fantastic tones, fleet-fingered accuracy and a remarkable touch in rendering this fully composed music. Improvisations occurred but they were rare, which really emphasized the challenge put before Tomek.

This is a trip man,,. Das ist seyr gute!

Awesome!

Here meets virtuosity and passion for music without boundaries. Thx for sharing!

Thanks for sharing !!! 💛

Thank you for uploading this vid! I couldn't be there but I am a life long fan of FZ and Napoleon is one of my favourite musicians. Frank Out did a really good job. Cheers from the UK. x

I’ve heard lots of FZ wannabes but this group really does him justice. Sorry to say but true; he would be proud. GBG NO EDITS.

The guy on the clarinet seems to really know what he’s doing. The strings are amazing. Murphy is always great. The synthesizer is awesome for an acoustic group. These guys are fabulous. Thanks for a beautiful day.

Anything with Napoleon Murphy Brock is #1 in my mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing back the greatest artist to live; FZ. The string production is great. Genius all the way to nirvana. GBG NO EDITS.

Who is that on acoustic guitar? He's amazing. Reminds me of Al Dimeola a bit.

Thanks for posting. My buddies and I have been a Zappa fan since the 60s and 70s. We are all born in 1957.

Thanks

The Slime from your Radio. Today from "the Slime From Your Smart Phone"..! Such an appropriate opening song. Frank Zappa took no prisoners from the Right or the Left. "Socialism is for assholes" Frank Zappa

Gives me a bit like King Chrimson, Thanks. Freddie the Swede.

That drum solo should have gone into hot for teacher

Who is David Cross? The drummer?

That sax is awful

I love this band but every video I see didn't have muffin man or whipping post in the setlist... What's up with that

👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!!!!

Thanks for zappanale ❤❤😊

Good Morning

How an hebrow (not Mozart) saying is going: "Music opens the doors to the paradise." Ensemble Fuse is an serious door-opener together with Napoleon Murphy Brock from San Francisco in Zappa, in contemporary music, in Jazz, in Rock and all different genres. Their common motto: "We play the music, we love". And we love it too. Thanks to Emma van de Schalie (violine), Julia Philippens, (violine), Mascha van Niewkerk (Cello), Aadrian Breunis (viola), Tobias Nijboern (doublebass) and Daniel van Dalen (percussion) from Amsterdam, NL. Come back. Play Bach and whatever You love. Sebastian Knauer (St. Catherine church Hamburg, "Zappa spielt für Bach")

Marvelous renditions as always! Couldn't make it there, but will see you again soon back in Britain. Frank would be pleased with your commitment to his tunes as a gig list of about 5 hours worth of tracks rehearsed to performance level is pretty amazing!

This man is one of the best K C members ever. Fripp is a puppy. I really hope to see this band play in Amsterdam PARADISO soon.
