Acclaimed Gypsy Jazz guitarist Robin Nolan has released a new album, For the Love of George, paying heartfelt tribute to George Harrison.

The album, released via Dark Horse Records, is available digitally and across all streaming platforms now. Listen to it here.

Recorded at Friar Park, George Harrison's home, For the Love of George features ten Gypsy Jazz interpretations of classic Harrison songs as well as a brand-new composition crafted by Nolan from chords discovered on an envelope after Harrison's passing. Bringing a deeply personal connection to the project, Nolan played three of George's own guitars during the recording sessions.

Nolan's relationship with Harrison dates back to the 1990s, when the former Beatle personally recognized and encouraged his playing. Since then, Nolan has remained a valued presence within the Harrison musical circle, making this tribute especially meaningful.

Talking about how the album came about, Nolan explains, "I was at Friar Park playing for Olivia's birthday. We were all talking and then George's Ramirez acoustic guitar appeared and I played 'And I Love Her' on it. It was a massive thrill to play the song on the same guitar George originally recorded it on with Olivia and everyone watching".

He adds, "I had already been thinking about how cool it would be to do an album of George's songs, but then to actually be playing one of his songs on that guitar. 'That's another level, you know, that's another layer of awesomeness.' So that was where the inspiration for the album was born".
