Description

Specially priced bundle of the new Infinity LP and Tree of Life CD.

INFINITY was produced, arranged and mixed by Gaspard Murphy, all songs (except “Count My Blessings” co-written by Olivier Durand) written by me in a surprising flurry of creative activity last year. The album was recorded nearby at Murmure studio in Paris with contributions by my musical partner for 29 years virtuoso guitarist Olivier Durand, violionist Melissa Cox and percussionist Alan Fatras with double-bassist Gerard McFadden on one track. Keyboards, electric bass, drum programming and additional instrumentation were all handled by Gaspard Murphy and Elliott.

Elliott says: “Where do you go after a 50 year career in music and as many albums? I suppose INFINITY is the answer and thus the title of my 52nd (I think) album. It’s my first studio album of original songs since Wonder (2023) and in these very recent family of songs I tried to peer into the future while being grounded in the icons of my youth all wrapped in a diverse genre defying musicality. Hopefully, it’s a personal collection that will appeal to the universal musical collective consciousness. That’s been my modus-operandi since my debut album Aquashow (1973).”

“Trying to Be Cool” came about when Elliott recorded a loop on the church organ in his wife’s hometown of Chalmazel (I’ve been there!) and worked it into a song. “The Tree of Life” was inspired by the same tree that Elliott is sitting under on the cover. That amazing tree was in the town of Gruchet-Saint-Siméon in the Normandy region of France where Elliott stayed for a few weeks after shooting the video of “Night Surfing” with his long-time guitarist Olivier Durand in nearby Le Havre. It was a productive stay (Elliott thinks the tree had special powers) and he claims he wrote about a dozen songs while there. The plan is to release The Tree of Life Part II in December which should include “Youth” and “Jumbo” as well as “Daylight” and “American Vagabond” … but we’ll see what happens when that tree sheds its leaves.
