Written by TheWinkler

My grandfather should be 105 by now but he died at 97. He was an excellent musician that could have been professional, but his family forced him to be an architect.

He founded the first Jazz orchestra in Barcelona in 1927, called Tribu Universitaria and played sax (imported from the US as there were no saxes in Europe then) and violin, among other instruments.

When he come home, I always played him some of my favourite prog music, he quite liked some of it, other bored him to death. Dispite his violin expertise, he never enjoyed David Cross playing i.e.

But I still remember the first time I played In the Court of the Crimson King to him. After only 20 seconds of playing his face litghtened and he exclamed in his Spanish jazzy language: Qué "drums"!!!! (What a drum player!!!!).

Thank you Alex, for bringing this back to my mind. Dispite what Mr. Fripp says, I think that Michaels playing in 21st, ITCOCK and Epitaph, can’t get any better.

The bass seems much more vivid , punchy,  and natural on this than the album.  Or is it just me. The Beatles reprise is funny. I always thought Adrian was a closet Beatle. Read more

I am a happy fan having this little arrangement downloaded some years ago from P@s homepage. This version available is a little bit shorter, as the "slowing down" main theme of red at the end of the piece was edited Read more
