Jennifer Batten
Above Below And Beyond

The Story
"Above Below And Beyond" is a ripping collection of instrumental rockers, enhanced with Batten's two-handed, ten-finger guitar technique. While most of the tracks are Batten originals, "Above Below And Beyond" also contains Batten's treatment of the Rimsky-Korsakov classic, "Flight Of The Bumblebee", Michael Jackson's, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", Otis Redding's "Respect" and John Coltrane's "Giant Steps". More surprises than you'd expect and wall-to-wall incredible guitar work.
