Deep Purple‘s keyboardist Don Airey will release a new solo album, entitled “A Light in the Sky”, on February 25 via Mascot Records. The effort features plenty of guest musicians, a.o. Laurence Cottle (bass), Darrin Mooney (drummer of Primal Fear and Gary Moore), Thunder‘s Chris Childs (bass), Gary James (drums) and Danny Bowes (vocals), and Carl Sentance (vocals; ex-Persian Rist, G//Z/R, Krokus).
Regarding the music on the record, Don states: “What I had in mind was making something that sounded like a cross between Rainbow, The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Jean-Michel Jarre.”
