							  SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 429 Records is gearing up for the release September 2nd
 of The Symphonic Nirvana, the next in Jaz Coleman's symphonic works and
 the Killing Joke legend's first in over 15 years.  Following the 
successes of Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones, Us and Them: 
Symphonic Pink Floyd, and Kashmir: Symphonic Led Zeppelin which all 
reached #1 on Billboard's Classical Crossover Chart, the Nirvana project
 is particularly close to Coleman's heart given the influence Killing 
Joke had on Nirvana and their mutual appreciation (Dave Grohl played 
drums on a 2003 Killing Joke release).  The recording of the album will 
take place in Russia at the legendary Mosfilm Studios and features the 
Russian State Symphony Cinema Orchestra.  An excerpt of "Lithium" was 
debuted recently at the Dubai World Cup in front of 80,000 people by a 
100 piece orchestra conducted by Jaz.  429 Records will release The 
Symphonic Nirvana in advance of the premiere of the work's performance 
at the Royal Albert Hall in London on October 17th (tickets are on sale April 25th).
  Says
 Jaz: "I am currently completing an epic symphonic arrangement of 
Nirvana's music which is soon to be recorded with the Moscow State 
Orchestra to mark the life and death of Kurt Cobain. After receiving a 
Christmas card from Kurt in 1990 and recording with Dave Grohl in 2003, 
scoring the work can be likened to a musical dialogue with a familiar 
disincarnate spirit. It is not a religious work per se--the music of 
Nirvana is superimposed over concepts such as the multiverse and quantum
 immortality. It is a great honor to have this opportunity and 
considering all the synchronicity and coincidences, I feel born for this
 one."
  Included in the project will be (more to come):
  Smells Like Teen Spirit Lithium Heart Shaped Box Dumb Come As You Are Scentless ApprenticeFor more information visit: www.429records.com
