about

Who is Eddie Jobson?
In a world full of different people with varying ideas and diverse cultural identities,
what do we all agree on? We all agree that Eddie Jobson has made the world a great place to listen to music - especially the brilliant music that he has brought to us as violinist, keyboardist and composer.

He thrilled us with his 70s and 80s contributions to Curved Air, Roxy Music, the Frank Zappa band, and Jethro Tull. He revolutionized music with the formation of the supergroup U.K. and his Zinc project. He pioneered work in electronic music and commercial soundtracks. He brought Eastern music to Western ears with the Bulgarian Women's Choir and the Tuvan Throat Singers. Eddie has inspired us, set high ideals for us, and made our dreams real for us. As fans and members of his official website forum, we wanted to thank him in some small way for everything he has meant to us.

--Gogo and Friends

The story of the CD
Just a month after Eddie Jobson opened his first-ever official Internet message forum in January 2006, a few of us who congregated there (and got to know each other as if we had been friends for many years) decided to make this CD for Eddie. Rather than imitate or interpret his great works, we agreed to pay tribute to him by contributing original pieces, ones showing how he has inspired us to stretch beyond our limitations and strive for the amazing levels of excellence he has demonstrated in every aspect of his work. Over the course of seven months, we received 15 contributions from 9 countries. Most contributors created new music especially for this CD, while some drew upon previously composed works that proved especially fitting for this album. In the course of making this CD, it developed into something greater than we ever imagined. We hope you get a similar sense when listening to this album.

--Ben P. Stein
