Guitarist, composer and futurist Matte Henderson is a former student of iconic progressive rock guitarist and founding father of King Crimson, Robert Fripp. He integrates some classic prog fundamentals such as odd-metered crunch chord voicings and wily rhythmic episodes, abetted by his collaborator and all-universe drummer Marco Minnemann.

William Shatner: Ponder The Mystery
by Glenn Astarita
Fundamentally, the notion of actor William Shatner reciting his poetic verse atop progressive rock compositions--performed by many of this genre's elite--including solo spots by Rick Wakeman (keyboards), Steve Vai (guitar), and Edgar Froese (guitar) may seem like an anomalous concoction.
