RECORDING SESSION NEWS FOR UPCOMING TOMMY BOLIN TRIBUTE CD
Greg Hampton, producer of the Tommy Bolin Whips and Roses CDs, is currently working on recording sessions with some of the world’s most famous and revered guitarists for his upcoming Tommy Bolin Tribute CD (as yet unnamed). Also in the core team bringing the project to release are Mix Engineer/Associate Producer Fabrizio Grossi (Whips & Roses I & II, Alice Cooper, Glenn Hughes) and Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, Allman Brothers). It’s been inspiring to learn that all of these legendary guitarists are all fans of Tommy, and are excited about adding parts to original Tommy Bolin multitrack tapes that have never been made public.
Greg’s recent sessions with Steve Lukather which were especially poignant, as the drummer on that original multitrack was the late Jeff Porcaro with whom Lukather played in Toto. Completed sessions include:
- • Steve Lukather (Toto, solo)
- • Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, Allman Brothers)
- • Brad Whitford (Aerosmith)
- • Nels Cline (Wilco, solo)
- • Glenn Hughes (Trapeze, Deep Purple, solo)
- • Oz Noy (Roger Glover, Nile Rodgers, solo)
- • John Scofield (Billy Cobham, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius, solo)
- • Prairie Prince (The Tubes, drums on Savannah Woman and Wild Dogs)
Also in negotiation or committed to the project are Slash, Billy Gibbons, Ben Harper, Tom Morello, Derek Trucks, Steve Morse, John Scofield, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Billy Cobham and Glenn Hughes.
Greg will keep us updated with more photos and news as the sessions progress, so keep an eye on the Bolin Board for announcements about updates on this page.
