WHITESNAKE's David Coverdale, GLENN HUGHES Featured On Reissue Of JON LORD's Windows
October 16, 2009, 15 years ago
Former DEEP PURPLE keyboardist JON LORD's Windows album has been reissued by Purple Records.
Digitally remastered two CD pressing of the third solo album from Lord, the album was released to coincide with the 35th Anniversary of its original issue. Lord had been invited to perform a special concert in Munich in June 1974, and got together with conductor Eberhard Schoener to compose two new pieces. Window comprised three movements, including a reworked section from his earlier 1971 album Gemini Suite. Jon Lord, fellow Deep Purple musicians David Coverdale (also WHITESNAKE; vocals) and GLENN HUGHES (bass), and a host of rock luminaries including Ray Fenwick, Pete York and Tony Ashton took part, alongside THE MUNICH CHAMBER OPERA ORCHESTRA. Windows is at times a demanding album, but the ever-changing musical textures, and the sheer quality of the performances, have delighted and intrigued listeners for 35 years now.
