Eric Gorfain founded the quartet after working for the 1996 tour of
Robert Plant and
Jimmy Page. He said the quartet fulfilled his desire to play lead guitar in a rock band. The debut album,
No Electricity Required (2004), contained Gorfain's
arrangement of "
Dazed and Confused" by Led Zeppelin in addition to cover versions of songs by
Coldplay,
Kiss,
Iron Maiden, and
Queens of the Stone Age. The Section Quartet consists of Gorfain on violin, Daphne Chen on violin, Richard Dodd on cello, and Leah Katz on viola. They have performed on soundtracks and pop music albums, such as
Stripped (
RCA, 2002) by
Christina Aguilera. Their performance on "
Beautiful" impressed the songwriter,
Linda Perry. She produced the quartet's album
Fuzzbox (2007) for
Decca Records, which reached number 14 on the
Billboard Classical Crossover Chart. ==Discography==
