Burnett

Justin Burnett started his career working for Hans Zimmer from 1995 through 2000. During this tenure he worked on films such as Broken Arrow, As Good as it Gets, The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, and Gladiator. From 2000 through present day, Burnett is also known for his work with famed film composer Harry Gregson-Williams. With Harry Gregson-Williams, Burnett has worked on films such as Spy Game, Phone Booth, Veronica Guerin, Passionada, Man on Fire, Déjà Vu, The Taking of Pelham 123, Unstoppable, and Cowboys & Aliens. Additionally, Burnett also worked with Walter Werzowa at Musikvergnuegen from 2000-2005 on many commercials, movie trailers and network branding projects.

T Bone Burnett has created a wildly influential career as both a producer and singer/songwriter, helping to establish the foundation for modern Roots and Americana music. So, it comes as bit of a surprise to hear his latest – a collaboration with Jay Bellerose and Keefus Ciancia – an eclectic, experimental record mixing dance, electronica, trance and tribal drumming that sound little like Burnett’s past catalogue. Bellerose is a percussionist who has worked with everyone from Elton John and Leon Russell to Allen Toussaint and Ray LaMontagne, while composer/producer/musician Ciancia has worked with Nikka Costa and Cassandra Wilson, among others.

Renowned as a record producer and soundtracks guru, T Bone Burnett has been prolific in just about every way, except when it comes to his own albums. But the drought in his own discography is about to end. On April 12, he’ll release his first album of new studio songs in 11 years, “The Invisible Light: Acoustic Space,” on the Verve Forecast label.
