NEAL SCHON - The calling. Nuevo álbum instrumental en solitario para octubre

Vía Froniers.

JOURNEY's Neal Schon to release a new solo instrumental album in October on Frontiers Records

The Calling will be released on October 19 in Europe and October 23 in North America

Taking a detour from his main job as lead guitarist for Journey, the multi-talented Neal Schon has put the finishing touches on his latest solo album, The Calling, which will be released by Frontiers Records on October 19th in Europe and October 23rd in North America. Produced by, and featuring, Schon on all guitars and bass, The Calling reunites Schon with former Journey bandmate, Steve Smith, who lends his virtuoso drum talents to all 12 tracks on the new album.

Schon set up shop at Berkeley’s famed Fantasy Studios during a break from Journey’s busy touring schedule, and recorded the album, completely from scratch, in just four days. After overdubbing multiple guitar and bass parts, Schon recruited two keyboard masters to flesh out the music Igor Len, an accomplished classical, jazz and film composer who had previously collaborated with Schon, is featured on acoustic piano throughout « The Calling » album.

GRAMMY Award-winning special guest Jan Hammer (Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miami Vice soundtrack) recorded Moog synthesizer solos on two tracks – Fifty Six and Tumbleweeds. Recently, Schon teamed up with Dan Barnett (Journey: Live In Manila) to produce the video for the first single and title track from « The Calling ».


« The Calling » tracklisting includes: The Calling; Carnival Jazz; Six String Waltz; Irish Field; Back Smash; Fifty Six (56); True Emotion; Tumbleweeds; Primal Surge; Blue Rainbow Sky; Transonic Funk; Song Of The Wind II.

En esta reciente entrevista dice que tiene otro disco preparado pero con canciones cantadas.

Además, hablando de un nuevo disco de Journey, dice que se lo piensan mucho, porque la gente en los conciertos sólo quiere escuchar los clásicos. Algo con lo que, no digo que no sea cierto, pero no estoy de acuerdo. El caso es que dice que a lo mejor escriben un par de canciones para intentar colocarlas en alguna película.

Algo se ha hablado ya en el foro.

Lo siento. La verdad es que ni siquiera miré, y eso que hasta respondí en el hilo. Lo pego allí y puedes cerrar éste si quieres.

Gracias.
