Beyond the Notes is a studio album by former Deep Purple keyboard player Jon Lord, released in 2004. It features guest appearances from Frida Lyngstad, Sam Brown, Miller Anderson, Thijs van Leer, Pete York, and Trondheim Soloists. It was recorded and mixed at Hansa Haus-Studios, Bonn, Germany, June 14 - July 31, 2004. It's a very personal album from Jon. He said about the song I'll Send You A Postcard (Pavane for Tony): Tony Ashton was a pianist, organist, artist, writer, raconteur, bar-room sage, occasionally exasperating mirror-image renaissance-man, sartorially quirky and a holder of the secret of merriment as well as a man of sometime sorrow, but one who left the world a much less colourful place when he moved upwards in 2001, and one of my oldest and dearest friends. And he wrote the song A Smile When I Shook His Hand in Memoriam for his close friend George Harrison.
