Discipline (40th Anniversary Series)
by John Kelman
If King Crimson fans were shocked, stunned and grief-stricken when the seminal art-rock group was disbanded by its only original founding member, guitarist Robert Fripp, in September 1974--seemingly at the height of its power and prowess--then it's certain that many of them didn't exactly know what to make of Exposure (DGM Live) in 1979. After continuing ...
Starless and Bible Black (40th Anniversary Series)
by John Kelman
They may be rolling out slower than fans would like, but given the superlative work that Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson has been doing to bring the decades-old King Crimson catalog into the 21st century--creating vibrant new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes, with Crimson co-founder/guitarist Robert Fripp's direct involvement and/or approval--he can be forgiven for taking ...
Pierrick Pedron: Cheerleaders
by Bruce Lindsay
Pierrick Pédron grew up in 1980s France listening to Neil Young and the super groups of rock, as well as to saxophone greats such as Charlie Parker and Cannonball Adderley. This combination of early influences can be clearly heard on the French alto saxophonist's third solo album, the fascinating and occasionally enigmatic Cheerleaders. ...

Days 1-3 | Days 4-6 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal Montréal, Canada June 25-July 4, 2011 Montréal is a city in transition, and in a move that's absolutely uncharacteristic of other Canadian cities, is planning a downtown renovation driven, in no small part, by the arts. Place des ...
Jakszyk, Fripp and Collins - A Scarcity of Miracles (2011)
By Tom Johnson It was only a matter of time before Robert Fripp came out of hiding again. Notoriously reclusive, the unusual guitarist seems to disappear just when things seem to get really interesting, such as a few years ago when a new incarnation of King Crimson began gelling on stage as the 1980s lineup of ...
Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins: A Scarcity of Miracles
by John Kelman
It's been the subject of much discussion. The closest thing to a King Crimson record, after founder/guitarist Robert Fripp closed up shop on the brief 40th Anniversary tour? Hardly. A Scarcity of Miracles may be called “A King Crimson ProjeKct" on the cover, but there's little to link the music to any of King Crimson's past ...

Jean-Luc Ponty: Open Strings
by John Kelman
Artists are often defined--and pigeon-holed--by the music that's had the best distribution, not necessarily their best music. Not that any of the fusion discs that Jean-Luc Ponty recorded in the mid-'70s are bad; far from it. But the music the Frenchman released, before he moved to the United States, reveals a different formative period for the ...
