This beginning-again may be called Formation 8.3, a formation becoming realised in Chicago on June 28th. 2017; at which point the process continued in motion. The beginning-again-again of KC 8.3 as Formation Nine took place at the Teatro Robert Fripp Friday 25th. August, 2017 Metropolitan, Mexico City on the evening Bredonborough, Middle England. of Friday, 14th. July 2017. The wonderful, exceptional, generous audience enabled the transition to take place. At the com- pletion of our performances in Mexico City, on the evening of Wednesday 19th. July, 2017, the band joined in champagne It wasn’t meant to be like this. Chris Porter, Robert Fripp and I spent several weeks this spring mixing “Live in Vienna”, a stand-out show from the 2016 European tour, ready for release this autumn. And then came the new 8-piece incarnation and the 2017 tour of North America, including this show in Chicago on 28th June. Writing in his online blog that night, Tony Levin de- scribed the show simply as “one of our best”, while Robert Fripp sent me an email saying “IF WE ARE LOOKING FOR A KC LIVE; CHICAGO WAS EXCEPTIONAL”. The new band had raised the bar to such a level that the proposed “Live in Vienna”, excellent though it re- mains (and it will be made available all over the world in the coming months), now felt like an archive release, not a snapshot of the current eight-headed beast. This band in full fl ight has been aptly described as having “THE PRECISION OF AN ORCHESTRA, THE FREEDOM OF A JAZZ BAND, AND THE POWER OF A ROCK BAND” – something no live recording will ever completely capture: a problem compound- ed by the fact that the two halves of the concert do not neatly divide between the two discs (the fi rst set closed with Islands and the second opened with Pictures of a City). Hopefully, however, this offi cial boot- leg based on the live board recording with no more than a few necessary edits con- veys much of the magic. In 2013, when Robert told me that he was re-forming the band, I predicted (with one small proviso) that this would be the most popular incarnation ever. Having seen this band night after night, it is diffi cult not to agree with Jordan Zivitz, writing in the Montreal Gazette, that “Crimson has never sounded more complete or more joyous on stage than it does now.” David Singleton DGMHQ Bredonborough 22 Aug 2017 Hand me the heart that rules my tongue Defl ate the air that fi lls my lungs Point out the joke that I’ve become And clarify / The error of my ways Count the convictions one by one Criticise the line that I just sung Why not place the bullet in my gun And clarify / The error of my ways (Again) So there’s no need for metaphor Now truth is becoming the last thing on our minds Now in a room full of ignorance And the debris of consequence Eden redesigned Hate or just post modern irony?

    STICK MEN - Tony Levin and Pat Masteloo, the powerhouse bass and drums of the group King Crimson for a few decades, bring that tradion to all their playing. Levin plays the Chapman Sck, from which the band takes it’s name. Having bass and guitar strings, the Chapman Sck funcons at mes like two instruments. Markus Reuter plays his selfdesigned touch style guitar – again covering much more ground than a guitar or a bass. And Masteloo’s drumming encompasses not just the acousc kit, but a unique electronic setup too, allowing him to add loops, samples, percussion and more. TONY LEVIN - Born in Boston, Tony Levin started out in classical music, playing bass in the Rochester Philharmonic. Then moving into jazz and rock, he has had a notable career, recording and touring with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Yes, Alice Cooper, Gary Burton, Buddy Rich and many more. He has also released 5 solo CDs and three books. In addion to touring with Sck Men, since more than 30 years is currently a member of King Crimson and Peter Gabriel Band, and jazz bands Levin Brothers and L’Image. His popular website, tonylevin.com, featured one of the web’s first blogs, and has over 4 million visits. PAT MASTELOTTO - Very rarely does a drummer go on to forge the most successful career on the demise of their former hit band. Phil Collins and Dave Grohl have managed it, so too has Pat Masteloo, a self taught drummer from Northern California, who has also been involved with pushing the envelope of electronic drumming.

    COMMON GROUND: THE SHARED INFLUENCES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF JAZZ FUSION AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK by JOSEPH BLUNK B.M.E., Illinois State University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Jazz Performance and Pedagogy Department of Music 2020 Abstract Blunk, Joseph Michael (M.M., Jazz Performance and Pedagogy) Common Ground: The Shared Influences and Characteristics of Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock Thesis directed by Dr. John Gunther In the late 1960s through the 1970s, two new genres of music emerged: jazz fusion and progressive rock. Though typically thought of as two distinct styles, both share common influences and stylistic characteristics. This thesis examines the emergence of both genres, identifies stylistic traits and influences, and analyzes the artistic output of eight different groups: Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis’s electric ensembles, Tony Williams Lifetime, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, and Soft Machine. Through qualitative listenings of each group’s musical output, comparisons between genres or groups focus on instances of one genre crossing over into the other. Though many examples of crossing over are identified, the examples used do not necessitate the creation of a new genre label, nor do they demonstrate the need for both genres to be combined into one. iii Contents Introduction………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Part One: The Emergence of Jazz………………………………………………………….. 3 Part Two: The Emergence of Progressive………………………………………………….. 10 Part Three: Musical Crossings Between Jazz Fusion and Progressive Rock…………….... 16 Part Four: Conclusion, Genre Boundaries and Commonalities……………………………. 40 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………….

Artist VIP presale is June 9 at 11 a.m., and venue presale is June 10th at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, June 11 at noon at the Miller High Life Theatre box office or Ticketmaster. When King Crimson returns to action this July, it will be the seventh year that the band has toured since returning to performing live in 2014, a run only interrupted by the lockdown in 2020. In that time, the audience has been reinvented, as much as the band itself, something Robert Fripp noted after the band’s performance in Pompeii, Italy’s famous amphitheater: “In Pompeii, a large percentage of the audience was young couples; KC moved into the mainstream in Italy. I walked onstage knowing that this band's position in the world has changed level.” - Robert Fripp The band’s shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many songs from their seminal 1969 album In the Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” The 7-piece line-up play many historic pieces, which Crimson has never previously played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight.

  • Schule Am Stadtrand
    KING CRIMSON – 01. July 2018 – Berlin, Admiralspalast – Uncertain Times Tour - Text: Holger Ott Schwere Kost und ein anstrengender, langer Abend stehen heute auf meinem Plan. KING CRIMSON mit ihrem, als etwas exzentrisch geltenden Bandleader ROBERT FRIPP, sind in der Stadt und geben im ehrwürdigen Admiralspalast gleich drei Konzerte an drei Abenden. Betrachtet man den Tourplan, scheint das wohl bei ihnen so üblich zu sein. Anderenorts gibt es auch Zusatzkonzerte wegen der enormen Nachfrage. Ein kluger Rechner würde überlegen, weshalb die Band nicht in größere Säle gewechselt hat, um alles mit einem Rutsch abzuarbeiten, aber der Rechner hat dabei ROBERT FRIPP vergessen. Für ihn ist es wichtiger Qualität abzuliefern, als die Massen zu bespaßen. Somit bildet der Admiralspalast das perfekte Ambiente, um das 'Klanggewitter' auf die Bühne zu bringen. Zudem können sich die Band, die Techniker und Roadies ein paar Tage Berlin gönnen. Da Foto- und Videoaufnahmen streng verboten sind, kann ich mich entspannt in meinem Sitz zurücklehnen und das Ereignis über mich ergehen lassen. Ja, die Fotoregelung ist schon etwas Besonderes, das doch mal Erwähnung verdient hat. Bei der Einlasskontrolle wird jedem Besucher alles technische Gerät abgenommen. Zwei riesige Schilder auf der Bühne weisen darauf hin, dass bei einem Verstoß, der 'Täter' sofort aus dem Saal komplimentiert wird. Ein Ansager erklärt, dass erst nach Ende des Konzertes fotografiert werden darf, und zwar ab dem Moment, an dem Bassist TONY LEVIN seine eigene Kamera zur Hand nimmt, um Bilder vom Publikum zu machen. Und womit soll das Publikum fotografieren? Ich habe meine Kamera und mein Mobiltelefon zum Auto zurückgeschleppt. Einige haben es dennoch geschafft ihr Telefon hinein zu schmuggeln und wer schon im Dunkeln das Gerät einschaltet und somit eine Lichtquelle erzeugt, wird von den Ordnern aufs Korn genommen.

Perhaps, as Prial suggests, Hammond’s relationship to the Vanderbilts did him more good in his early years in music than his social skills. There are questions unanswered and undeveloped in this biography related to Hammond the man, such as his falling out with Aretha Franklin or his quick parting with Dylan. Each chapter of this book comes (another assault on your pocketbook) with a wonderful ‘‘discography’’ that should slow down the pace of reading but will contribute to a great start in building a library of American music of the 20th century. It is quite something how much music Hammond had a role in, and this portion of the book is an important reminder of the times and genres Hammond touched. As with all biographies there are problems and limitations. For those of us raised in the second half of the century, The Producer fails to deliver the same magic surrounding the discovery and signing of ‘‘our’’ heroes as it does around the early stars.
