founded the quartet after working for the Led Zeppelin reunion tour of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page in 1996. He said the quartet fulfilled his desire to play lead guitar in a rock band. The debut album, No Electricity Required, 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.
