This seems very interesting, probably will be my first 2011 purchase and first "KC ProjeKct" purchase as well.

From Fripp's blog:

Unexpectedly, the JJ & RF project became a ProjeKct, via JF&C and JF&C with L&H. Unexpected, but not surprising given the Crimson gene pool. And, for the first time since 1981, there is more English in the genes than American, in the ratio 4:1.

This unexpectedness is welcome: it suggests there is more going on than could be predicated merely on what has gone before. And yet, once here, there is familiarity; like meeting a close member of the family for the first time, one whose education & upbringing was elsewhere & outside the family town. If we were looking for precedent, such as while arguing for a particular Crimson line of development with former manager SG Alder Esq. of EG, this might be along the lines of song-based Crimson; in distinction to a developing Crimson instrumentality after 1972 with Larks’, Fracture, Red and onto Discipline et al. Songs are always problematic because they come with both lyricists and singers, sometimes the functions combined. That a given, I enjoy playing with good singers more than anything.

Jakko is a first-generation Crimson-child whose life-courses were re-directed by the early KC albums plus live Crimson at Watford Town Hall on July 15th. 1971 and Hyde Park on September 4th. 1971.

And he's released a solo album or two, including the Bruised Romantic Glee Club, which is an album of original material followed by a disc of cool covers of everything from King Crimson to Henry Cow and Soft Machine.

In short, he's a 52 year old session musician who's played with a lot of important artists (including Fripp and Harrison). He was also in the 21st Century Schizoid Band, which covered early Crimson material.


oh ok. Good. I'm sure he fits well with the lineup. Cool

This is fascinating news. Fripp had been talking about retirement for a while, I was under the impression that we wouldn't see any new material from him, let alone something like this.

I'm disappointed that Belew isn't involved. Then again that's probably the main reason they're not calling this King Crimson (even though they could probably get away with it if they wanted). I definitely respect them for that.

A bit weird that the rhythm section isn't listed as primary band members.
