I just read that Jon Anderson is planning to form a new band, with Jean-Luc Ponty in the line-up.

I very much doubt this will happen, as with most of Jon's plans. We are still awaiting the Rabin and Wakeman thingy.

we shall see about Jon's dreams--he really has been all over the place for a long time---even before Yes moved on without him---his spacey attention deficit disorder used to get on the serious and meticulous Steve Howe's nerves---his music has been real bad to mediocre for some time IMO--and he is one of my favorite singers---he needs to collaborate  with some strong musicians like Ponty--like he used to do with the great Yes men---and I think, hope he realizes it.

Perhaps the band he is talking about with be himself, Ponty, Wakeman, and Rabin (plus some drummer and bass player), and they will create the followup tu Olias

And then they can go on tour and play both Olias albums together and release it on CD/DVD

Yeah, I've thought of that as well!  Whomever he picks, Jon will love and trust them implicitly.  No more shivs in the back I'm sure.

This would be exceedingly cool - two of my favorites in one package. I won't hold my breath, though. It may just come after half a dozen detours. Time to get that Moorglade moving again!

It sounds nice. No guitars nor keyboards, I guess that will be interesting.

I think they are just revving up the machine!  Both Jean Luc and Jon have played with the masters of guitar and keyboard, so I'm happy to watch this come together. 


Someone on Facebook has information that Jordan Rudess will be the keyboard player.  That would be fantastic, if true!

The fact that Ponty is involved gives some heft to these rumors.

well I hope it is true---that line-up sounds like a good band ---as long as rabin is not involved it should be interesting and creative music.

I would be a bit dissapointed, since I'd really like Anderson to work with Wakeman again, and it would be cool if he were part of this project too. However Rudess is awsome too. If he is part of the project, I hope he plays something more similar to what he did in Steven Wilson's "Grace for drowning", and stays away from his playing in DT... I feel it would fit better on the project (and also, I can hardly imagine Wakeman playing in that stile).
