Zappa Plays Zappa is the name of a concert tour and band led by Dweezil
Zappa, the oldest son of the late American composer and musician Frank
Zappa, devoted to performing the music of Frank Zappa.
The band debuted in 2006 with shows in Europe, Canada and the United
States during May and June (the tour was also known as Zappa Plays Zappa -
Tour de Frank'). The shows presented a collection of Frank Zappa's

musicians and older musicians who previously played with Frank Zappa.
Among those, Napoleon Murphy Brock (sax, flute and vocals) was an integral
part of the band, while drummer (and singer) Terry Bozzio and electric
guitarist Steve Vai performed as guests in parts of the shows. At several
shows Frank Zappa himself performed a song posthumously via synchronized
audio/video technology, notedly solos in Chun
