  What a drums!! February 20, 2012
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.

... It worths it. Well, I do wonder if I am not that good with software, but I truly think the music by Mr Fripp could also be sold through merchants like Amazon, iTunes or 7digital which do know how Read more

Feel the Heat of the throbbing Jungle Mon., Oct 22, 2012
Posted by: syncopatico
Without guitars, the rhythm of this Heat glows and percolates: Tony’s bass guitar (throbs, grooves and emerges even more ’elastic’; while Bill’s (no ride/hi-hat cymbals allowed!!) tribal backbeat pulses more clearly with boo-bams, his crisp signature snare sound and a Read more

Posted by: microbunny
Pretty sure the german word "Schallplatten" translates into "Record Store" in English. I think the proper name of this venue should be "Govi Schallplatten" or "Govi Record Store". Fantastic job with the bootleg synchronization and wonderful to Read more
