RUSH, LED ZEPPELIN, QUEEN Songs To Be Featured On New Orchestral Jazz Covers Album

November 12, 2007

According to a posting on the RUSH fan site Power Windows, the song "Available Light" from the legendary Canadian rock trio's 1989 album "Presto" is one of four tracks which have been recorded for an all-new full orchestral jazz covers project to be released mid-to-late 2008.

The as-yet-unnamed band began as a recording project founded by composers Ryan Fraley and Ralph Johnson alongside vocalist Lydia McAdams. Besides RUSH, the band is covering QUEEN, YES, LED ZEPPELIN and more. There are samples of the four completed tracks (including "Available Light") currently available on their web site with eight more tracks in the works. Judging from the samples, this covers album will be very unique, with classic prog songs lovingly rearranged for a full jazz orchestra with beautiful vocal accompanyment.
