Could this be true? Jobson making a public appearance once again? That would be fantastic!

For some perverse reason Jobson is one of the pretty boys (rhs with Patrick O'Hearn  and Tommy Mars??) on the front cover of Zappa's Zoot Allures - although Jobson and O'Hearn don't appear on record (rather than the cover )  until later Zappa recordings - you'll find Jobson's name coming up in the credits of some of those Can't Do That On Stage Anymore 2 CD sets.

"Former" King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto?

The UKZ project looks pretty cool though.

I was told this about 4 weeks ago but asked to keep it quiet - seems that the secret is now out from a US webcasterCry:
