Former Deep Purple keyboard player, the legendary Jon Lord, launched on April 5, 2010 a new solo album called "Such Things To Notice" by the label Avie Records. The album was inspired by the story of a close friend of Lord John Mortimer (see photo), an attorney, English playwright and screenwriter who created the television series "Rumpole of the Bailey", who died in January 2009. The album is instrumental and was recorded in late September with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. The album title is from a poem by British poet and novelist Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), whose Lord is a regular reader.
On the first track, with the same title of the album, Jon Lord said: "I had a total of six minutes of music that grew at a 27-minute movement for flute, piano and string orchestra. What I wrote in March, April and May and was a very emotional and fascinating work on this when the presence of John still very strong. "
The track list of "Such Things To Notice" is:
01. Such Things To
a. Notice As I Walked Out One Evening
b. At Court
c. Turville Heath
d. The Stick Dance
e. The Winter of a Doormouse
f. Afterwards
