A special addition to the album’s artist list is Joe's own son, ZZ Satriani, playing the tenor sax.
Over the last two decades, Satriani has traveled the world, playing to sold-out crowds as both a headliner and as founder of the all-star G3 guitar extravaganza. Of his 13 solo albums, two went platinum and four gold with 15 Grammy nominations between them. This year Joe was nominated for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for the song "Always With Me, Always With You" from his album "Surfing with the Alien".
2007 marked the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking album "Surfing with the Alien" and was commemorated with new expanded edition in a meticulously restored two-disc set including the newly re-mastered album and a previously never-before-seen live show filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1988.
