Virgil & Steve Howe

Description:

In 2017, Steve Howe of Yes performed for the first time with Virgil, the second son of the drummer of the popular UK alternative rock band Little Burley, on this duo effort. In September, shortly after the album was completed, Virgil passed away suddenly at the age of 41. Despite his grief, Steve decided to release the album as planned in order "to have people recognize what a truly talented musician he was. Steve played acoustic, electric, and steel guitars, while Virgil played drums, bass, and all keyboards. The result is a beautifully diverse collection of songs that range from neo-classical elements to dreamy jazz to straight-ahead grooves to cinematic space themes, all with memorable feelings and moods that bring together the two musicians' individual backgrounds and styles into one compelling whole. This is an instrumental album. First Japanese release. (C)RS
