You can imagine that the instruments are voices calling out in ecstasy to heaven. The self-title opening track “Triumphant Hearts” is a majestic classical piece featuring a string ensemble that includes violinist Gluaco Bertagnin and cellist Hiyori Okuda with a soaring guitar solo by Marty Friedman. This album is a testimony to Jason’s tenacity to never surrender. The movie provides a riveting look into Jason’s life and how he has transcended his terminal diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s diseas). If you aren’t familiar with Jason’s story, then be sure to watch his movie called ‘Not Dead Yet’. These demo versions are without vocals which allows us to enjoy the full quality of Jason’s guitar playing at that time. An added bonus is getting to hear some unreleased tracks from David Lee Roth’s 1991 album ‘A Little Ain’t Enough’. The music on this album celebrates the magic of music and its power to allow us all to triumphant over adversity. ‘Triumphant Hearts’ gives us the first new music from Jason Becker since his ‘Collection’ release in 2008. The release of ‘Triumphant Hearts’ showcases a musical maestro using the changes in his life to give us the gift of music. In the face of crushing adversity, their superpowers of humor, wit and creativity allowed them to excel. They are incredibly intelligent and gifted individuals who when presented with a debilitating disease, adapted to this change. The great Stephen Hawking said “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” Stephen Hawking and Jason Becker share many things in common.
