Napoleon, the new album from the Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra, seamlessly travels through the rock concert hall, soul dance party, Crescent City fete, late night jazz lounge, rollicking blues bar, and sharp-witted poetry slam. And all with a popular rock'n'roll vision that rests on a foundation of the finest musical traditions. Produced by Rob Frabroni, known for his work with The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Band and Eric Clapton, Napoleon blends contemporary elan with a rich historicity into a colorful and beguiling listening experience. From the evocative flash-card imagery of "You're Famous Baby" to the seductive strains of his collaboration with Alejandro Escovedo and Ivan Neville, "Till You Know Who You Are," it's a modern musical tour de force that reflects the sum of its maker's considerable musical background and gifts.
