Peter Frampton has never stayed in the same stylistic place for very long, writes musicradar.com. But his newest, Hummingbird in a Box, may seem a truly radical departure to his fans weaned on the blues-rock guitar of Humble Pie and Frampton’s Camel, through his mega-platinum smash Frampton Comes Alive!

Hummingbird in a Box is an exhilarating mini-album of all-original music inspired by the Cincinnati Ballet. It features seven original guitar pieces in Frampton’s virtuosic stylings. Frampton composed all songs on the mini-album along with Gordon Kennedy, who also co-produced the recording. The two previously teamed up for Fingerprints, which garnered them both a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

The music for Hummingbird in a Box debuted in April 2013 at Cincinnati’s Aronoff Center for the Arts. Two of the Cincinatti Ballet’s spring production’s segments were choreographed to existing Frampton music — with Frampton and his band performing live — while a third section featured the new composition by Frampton and Kennedy. Of the project Frampton notes, “Writing for dance was a wonderfully freeing experience. There were no boundaries. We were able to push the composing envelope,” and Kennedy went further, “Songwriters and musicians create music to move people,” he says. “This was beautiful, graceful, and instantly gratifying!”
