Re-release of the debut full-length album by the most famous female Hard Rock/Shred guitarist-virtuoso.
“Above Below And Beyond” saw Jennifer’s garner major press attention in the world’s leading guitar and Rock press. Home to devastating technique, a unique touch and individuality the album is rightly regarded as one of the premier guitar instrumental offerings ever recorded.
The buzz on Jennifer Batten rose from the guitar underground, and the guitar magazines promptly began chronicling her savvy musicianship and highly original approach to the electric guitar in print. At one point Batten was in 6 different bands, playing everything from straight ahead Rock, to Metal, Fusion, and Funk. A major turning point came when she was selected from over one hundred guitarists to play in Michael Jackson's highly skilled band which toured the world for one and a half years playing for over four and a half million people. Jennifer wasted no time after the “Bad” Tour's grand finale, diving into work on her own album with renowned producer (and Stevie Wonder guitarist) Michael Sembello. The stunning results can be heard on “Above Below And Beyond”, the title appropriately describing the interesting diversity within. With this debut release, the world at large learned what all the excitement was about.
On the album Jennifer comments, “Above Below and Beyond” was my debut record in which I explore a lot of different musical directions. I began recording this in the 80’s when all the Hair bands were raging, and guitar players were all concerned with speed and flash. Michael Sembello of the hit song “Maniac” fame produced it”.
Jennifer is one of the highest profile guitarists in the world!

JENNIFER BATTEN "Whatever" /CD/

Re-release of the third full-length album by the most famous female guitarist-virtuoso.
Critically acclaimed as one of the most creative, imaginative and talented guitarists on the planet and always at the forefront of technology Jennifer Batten returns for her third solo album in the captivating sonic tapestry of “Whatever”.
The album is described in style by Jennifer herself as “Guitronica”. The album possesses plenty of guitar, but “Whatever” is heavily multi textured with a plethora of sounds and vocal samples, and has a humorous thread throughout. The music is also influenced by various ethnic cultures such as the African vibe in "Off the Deep End".
While she's best known for her stints alongside Pop and Rock giants, namely Michael Jackson and Jeff Beck, six-string shredder Jennifer Batten has issued sporadic solo releases along the way, such as 2008's "Whatever". And it turns out that it was her work with the latter notable gentleman that has considerably rubbed off on her musically, as Whatever sounds like a direct descendent of such latter day Electro-Rock Beck releases as 1999's "Who Else!" and 2001's "You Had It Coming". And perhaps this shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as it was precisely these two Beck studio efforts that Batten played on (and even lent a hand in songwriting). Beck-like guitar phrasing is certainly apparent throughout (especially on such ditties as "Ass Whoopin" and "Off the Deep End"), with a few curveballs along the way, including a pair of tracks that sound comparable to Laurie Anderson's early-'80s work ("Cupid's Arrow" and "Inner Journey").
On the albums creation Jennifer comments, “Originally I started writing a lot of these tracks for Jeff Beck when I was in his band. My third CD has been long overdue so in the end I'm happy to have these tracks for myself! He got me interested in Electronica and I'm very happy to have that as a new direction with all the amazing inspiring sounds available today.”
Jennifer describes the album as "'sort of' instrumental. There are vocal samples telling stories in most songs, but not the standard song type lyrics and melodies. I played and programmed most of the CD with the exception of having a few guests".
Jennifer is one of the highest profile guitarists in the world!
