Jeff Beck’s first studio album in seven years!! Emotion & Commotion is an eclectic mix of tracks in which the guitar virtuoso is accompanied by a hand-picked talented musicians, as well as a 64-piece orchestra on several tunes.
Beck recorded his latest release late last year at Sarm Studios in London with award-winning producers Steve Lipson and Trevor Horn. Beck used a number of musicians, including Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Jason Rebello (keyboards), and Tal Wilkenfeld (bass). The album also includes contributions from a trio of singers: Imelda May (‘Lilac Wine’), Olivia Safe (‘Elegy For Dunkirk’), and Grammy-winner Joss Stone (‘I Put A Spell On You’ and ‘There s No Other Me’).
To complement the innovative tones he coaxes from his guitar, Beck recorded with a 64-piece orchestra on songs that range from Puccini s immortal aria ‘Nessun Dorma’ and Elegy For Dunkirk from the film Atonement to ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ from The Wizard Of Oz and Jeff Buckley s interpretation of ‘Corpus Christi Carol.’
Emotion and Commotion will be available on April 13th, 2010.
