From Jakko's website:

Jakko is joined by a formidable array 
        of guest contributors to this album. Reading like a who’s who of 
        the best and most innovative musicians from the UK music scene of the 
        last 30 years they include drummer Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), acoustic 
        bassist Danny Thompson (Pentangle, John Martyn, Richard Thompson), sax and flute from Mel 
        Collins (Circus, Camel, King Crimson, Roger Waters) electric bass from Mark King (Level 
        42) piano & keyboards from Dave Stewart (Egg, Hatfield & The North, UK), 
        drummer Ian Wallace (King Crimson, Bob Dylan, Crimson Jazz Trio), Soft Machine bassist, Hugh 
        Hopper, ex-Egg drummer, Clive Brooks and guitarist Robert Fripp (King 
        Crimson). Plus many others.

As well as contributions on two tunes 
        from Robert Fripp, former Crimson lyricist Peter Sinfield has written 
        a new lyric for Jakko's Crimson cover of 'Pictures of a City.' Now retitled 
        ''Pictures of an Indian City' it features an Asian re-working of the song..

I am planning to have Jakko join me for the Alt 2 Show soon (via
www.LCR1350.co.uk). to talk about the album and his wide influences.
