Highly revered Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has told the BBC’s 6 Music that he is currently recording new material and is under new management. After being inducted into the Mojo Hall of Fame last night in London, he revealed he was working on a number of different projects.

“I’m just looking forward to making some music and surprising people with it,” he said. “It won’t be just teaming up with lots of people who are [big] names. I’ve got an idea of something which I’ve had for a long time and now’s the time to do it.”

“I have got other ideas that have been nagging at me for a long long time, I think the way to present music is same picture different frame, and sometimes this frame is quite radical,” he added.

Ranked #2 on Gibson’s “Top 50 Guitarist of all Time,” Page also recently reveled he is publishing an autobiography with Geneisis Publications and was honored with the first ever Global Peace Award by the United Nations’ Pathways to Peace Organization. [6Music]
