Drummer and Grammy-winning producer extraordinaire Narada Michael Walden has a powerful new album. Thunder , the latest addition to the Mahavishnu Orchestra alum’s discography, blends rock fusion, blues, jazz and soul, to create a work of compelling musical intensity. Walden assembles an outstanding lineup of musicians to bring this great music to life. Joining him on the effort are Frank Martin on keyboards and organs, Matthew Charles Hewllit on guitar, Angeline Saris on bass and Nikita Germaine, who provides backing and lead vocals on numerous tracks along with Walden. The musicianship here is at an ultra-high level in every chair. Walden has produced yet another grand work to add to his museum of accomplishments.
