The Latest Release from Legendary Musician Peter Frampton!
Pressed at QRP!
Hummingbird In A Box, the latest work from legendary musician Peter Frampton. The new music was inspired by the Cincinnati Ballet, featuring seven original guitar pieces in Frampton's virtuosic stylings. Frampton composed all songs on the seven-track mini-album along with Gordon Kennedy, who also co-produced the recording. The two previously teamed up for Fingerprints, which garnered them both a Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
The music debuted in April 2013 at Cincinnatis Aronoff Center for the Arts. Two of the Cincinnati Ballets spring productions segments were choreographed to existing Frampton musicwith Frampton and his band performing livewhile a third section featured the new composition by Frampton and Kennedy. Of the project Frampton notes, Writing for dance was a wonderfully freeing experience. There were no boundaries. We were able to push the composing envelope, and Kennedy furthers, Songwriters and musicians create music to move people. This was beautiful, graceful, and instantly gratifying!
Peter Frampton is one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for the British band, The Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie.
