JON OLIVA'S PAIN and SAVATAGE mastermind Jon Oliva has completed recording his first-ever solo album. The CD, which contains ideas collected over the course of the last four or five years and also compositions by Jon`s brother Criss (Savatage), was tracked in winter 2012 at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida with producer Tom Morris.
