New country with Vivaldi
Steve Morse collaborated on a new track with guitar player Angel Vivaldi. They have recorded a cover of New Country by Jean-Luc Ponty.
Angel Vivaldi band:
Violin — Siobhan Cronin
Bass — Joey Acampora
Keys — Ken Aihara
Drums — Bill Fore
Angel says:
This song is one I’ve dreamed of working with for well over a decade. Jean-Luc’s work has been instrumental in shaping my musical foundation, introducing me to artists like Chick Corea, whose influence is evident in my piece, ‘Eight.’ Collaborating with Steve Morse, and this incredible band, elevated this project to extraordinary levels. I’m truly thrilled that we had the opportunity to create music together.
Steve himself adds:
I love the fact that Angel is spreading his wings and taking on other genres than what he has already proven so good at. This Is a very difficult tune to play well. He played it well very easily while having a clear vision of the whole production.
Thanks to SteveMorse.com for the heads-up, and to Ultimate Guitar for the quotes.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Ah, Steve in one of his artful airbrush color sleeveless shirts again, I can never get enough of these bald eagle prints, très chic, DP’s stage presentation just ain’t the same without them.
Song ain’t bad, but then Jean-Luc rarely disappoints.
