Search - Neal Schon :: The Calling

Best known as founding member and lead guitarist of
Journey, NEAL SCHON has enjoyed (and is still enjoying)
a remarkable career as one of rock n roll s top guitar
virtuosos. His story began more than 35 years ago,
when he left home to join Santana at a mere 15 years of
age. But bigger things were in the future, and Schon
moved on to form Journey in 1973.
Schon has earned 19 Top 40 singles and 25 gold and
platinum albums, was awarded the prestigious Legend
Of Live Award at the 2011 Billboard Touring Awards, and
received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005.
Schon s latest solo album The Calling is produced by
and features Schon on all guitars and bass, also marking
a reunion with former Journey drummer Steve Smith,
who lends his virtuoso talents to all 12 tracks on The
Calling .
Two keyboard masters fleshed out the music: Igor Len,
an accomplished classical, jazz and film composer is
featured on acoustic piano throughout The Calling ;
while GRAMMY Award-winning special guest Jan Hammer
(Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miami Vice
soundtrack) recorded Moog synthesizer solos on two
tracks.
