Very, very few players have covered King Crimson repertoire and
no-one of prominence (other than The Schizoid Band and Andrew
KeelingÆs orchestral arrangements) has attempted more than one or
two pieces. There have been honourable renditions &
representations but, until now, without significantly adding to my
understanding of Crimson material.
The CJ3 have respectfully & irreverently taken 8 Crimson classics,
repositioned them in the musical spectrum, and delivered their
first Songbook with superb musicianship in service to wit &
invention. I have heard, as if for the first time, Schizoid,
TOAPP, Catfood, Starless, Ladies Of The Road, I Talk To The Wind,
Red & Matte Kudasai.
Ian Wallace provides personal hotline & Crimson-juice authority to
the Trio, although anyone unfamiliar with IanÆs jazz passion &
experience may be surprised by what is going on here. O for a
shabby & smoke-free jazz club to sit back & savour The CJ3 in
living sonic colour. O for someone to persuade Ian, Jody Nardone &
Tim Landers to climb into the back of a van and travel.
