Before respectively founding the collectives Lettuce and Galactic, guitarist Eric Krasno and drummer Stanton Moore shared a passion since the mid-1990s for the multidirectional polyrhythms of funk, jazz, blues, soul, and hip-hop. 'Book of Queens', their first joint album under the entity Krasno/Moore Project, pays homage to the current and eternal queens of popular music.Recorded in Woodstock, in the barn-studio of the late Levon Helm (The Band) and accompanied by organist Eric Finland, 'Book of Queens' offers nine instrumental reinterpretations of the repertoire of Billie Eilish, Aretha Franklin, Amy Winehouse, H.E.R., Sharon Jones, Peggy Lee, Kacey Musgraves, Nina Simone, and Brittany Howard, via a cover of 'Stay High' featuring the participation of keyboard prodigy Cory Henry.A 100% groove tribute, organic and timeless, in the image of the spectacular update of 'Fever', the standard by Peggy Lee, illuminated by the presence of another distinguished guest: saxophonist Branford Marsalis.
