Steve Hunter Previews New DVD

09/26/2014
. (TeamRock Radio) Steve Hunter has issued a trailer for his newly-released DVD Tone Poems Live. It was recorded in LA in August 2013 and features bassist Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), keyboardist Phil Aaberg (Elvin Bishop, Peter Gabriel) and drummer Alvino Bennett (Dave Mason, Robin Trower).

The foursome rehearsed over two days and recorded each of the 11 tracks twice on day three, with no overdubs added to the performance. And while the project came together in the end, Hunter says he "wasn't crazy about the idea" at first.

He tells Gretsch Post: "It wasn't really my idea. One of the guys that had contacted us when I was doing the Kickstarter for The Manhattan Blues Project came to us later with the idea of doing a live video.

"When we first started talking about it, I wasn't crazy about the idea. But it evolved into something where we could record it live." Check out the preview and read more here.
