KING CRIMSON Members JAKKO M. JAKSZYK & MEL COLLINS Share Stunning New Studio Recording Of The CRIMSON Classic “I TALK TO THE WIND!”

Los Angeles, CA – The music world has been buzzing ever since it was announced that an extraordinary collection of musicians would be recreating in its entirety King Crimson’s 1969 prog rock classic In The Court Of The Crimson King, including such luminaries as Todd Rundgren, Megadeth’s Chris Poland, Deep Purple's Ian Paice, Rainbow's Joe Lynn Turner, Dream Theater's James LaBrie, Cactus's Carmine Appice and others! Among this elite group are two artists who are perhaps closest to the King’s inner circle, vocalist/guitarist Jakko M. Jakszyk and saxophonist/flautist Mel Collins, who together with Jakko’s son Django Jakszyk, have teamed up for a powerful new rendering of In The Court Of The Crimson King’s most haunting track, the enchanting “I Talk To The Wind.”

Jakszyk and Collins are, in fact, long-time collaborators, having performed and recorded together numerous times in the hugely popular King Crimson offshoot 21st Century Schizoid Band as well as on Jakszyk’s solo albums. Their undeniable artistic chemistry shines through on this sumptuous track with Collins’s brilliant flute playing providing the perfect complement to Jakszyk’s otherworldly voice and guitar work with Django’s bass guitar rounding out the low end. It’s a thoroughly enchanting interplay between two artists who continue to keep the King Crimson legacy alive and well!

Guests include all of those mentioned above plus Marty Friedman, Steve Hillage, Alan Davey, Paul Rudolph, and Nik Turner! This is not just a tribute; it's a celebration and reinvention of a musical masterpiece, bringing together the past, present, and future of rock music. Don't miss this unparalleled musical journey!

Certainly a pretty version. I'm not sure I see too much Reimagined here though. I'll wait and see how the rest unfolds.

I thoroughly enjoy The Crimson Trio and think it's one of the best reimaginings of KC.

^ Yes, at least this single is pretty close to the original. I've heard many really good versions of Schizoid Man already. As far as reimagining KC is concerned, I'm really looking forward to hearing Beat (Vai/Belew/Levin/Carey) ...

Personally, I have no interest in the tribute. But the re-issue of the excellent 21st Century Schizoid Band's Live in Japan is very welcome. Ordered that!

I'm super happy to now own a copy of the 21st Century Schizoid Band Live in Japan CD/DVD package. It's terrific! I'm not a big fan of King Crimson, but I absolutely love 21st Century Schizoid Band. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates the early, more symphonic kind of King Crimson with lots of mellotron, flutes, and saxophones.
