Curious how much attraction the KC music has on the early band members. In the early 2000s, former KC members Ian MacDonald, Michael Giles, Mel Collins, Ian Wallace and a new guitarist Jakko Jakszsyk put together the 21st Century Schizoid Band to play the early KC repertoire in concert. At times they had an empty chair on stage for Fripp in case he ever felt like joining in. Eventually the later drummer in the Schizoid Band, Ian Wallace, put together the Crimson Jazz Trio, a jazz piano-bass-drum ensemble to play Crimson tunes going from first album to the albums in the early 80s. Shortly after that, Ian Wallace died, the Schizoid Band broke up, and then Jakko joined Fripp in the next official Crimson group and stayed till the end. Most of the former survivors of the early KC bands had successful careers in music after KC, but still came together to play this music years later.

If you're questioning your worth via this channel I can assure you that you have touched and enlightened at least one person. I am so glad I stumbled onto your channel and have binged on it since , the last three days has been all your videos and I have soaked up so much knowledge. Please don't change your format of off the cuff rumination it is the most real thing on RU-vid for me and I love it. Where else would you get the esoteric influence on King Crimson , a subject and a band I both enjoy greatly. Thank you so much you are one of the few Renaissance men and it is a privilege to share in your knowledge and please know I haven't blown smoke up someone's ass like this in a very long time....

15:35 Andy, I've to say that the moment you describe is one of the most amazing moments in film-making history. Am I biased? Sure. But even if the rest of the doc was crap, that moment alone would make it a great film. It caught me completely off guard, and as you, I froze there in shock... Incredible.

Serving the music is exactly what McLaughlin does, but in a different way. Fripp 'knows' what the path is and expects the band to conform. McLaughlin does not know, but trusts the band members to find it with him.

@ericarmstrong6540 9 месяцев назад

Your observation about RF being an "autocratic despot" is interesting. Bill Bruford states in his autobiography that Robert Fripp is one part Joseph Stalin, one part Mahatma Ghandi and one part Marquis de Sade. He then goes on to say that if you told Robert Fripp this he would agree with it and probably laugh.

I haven't studied Gurdjieff although I read Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous. Nor am I a musician. But I have practised non-dual inquiry for years. Eventually, what you are alluding to can become clear: music, like thoughts, comes out of the void. Whatever makes them is also what experiences them. What we think we are is simply an experience. As Prospero said in The Tempest, "‘We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.’

Perhaps another "chapter" in this tale might be a musician otherwise considered to be completely different: That being the consummate improviser Keith Jarrett, another erstwhile "acquaintance" of Gurdjieff's, even once recording an album of the Master’s tunes, who in his own way had a deeply abiding connection to "The Big Note" (from another oblique angle, of course), from where it appears much of this "inspiration" springs forth. Next step is figuring out how to make the smoke stand still. 😉

Bands with artistic tension make the best music; tension makes for spicy music and leads to more beautiful resolution. But I understand this notion of transcendent music, letting the spirit in…question is whether you believe you are accessing something external or internal, whether you are letting in something from outside in, from a pre-existing musical continuum, or whether you are removing internal barriers, removing embarrassment and shame and ego and simply being yourself within music. One suggests we are nothing but servants to a musical dimension, the other suggests that if we let go of all the noise, we access our purest musical selves…I imagine it’s both, that we must resonate within the musical continuum, and allow it to resonate within us

I saw the documentary when it was first released in the theater for 1 night only. There was a whole 3 people in the theater, me, my buddy, and one other person. Disappointed it was so few, but poorly advertised. It was in winter with a snow storm out side, and the heating was off in our theater. They offered our money back but we just wanted to see it. A great documentary. Very different to any other music documentary that I've seen, but not unexpected given the band and Robert Fripp. Very much enjoyed it, and bought the DVD so I can rewatch it, which I have a few times.

@clydespace411 9 месяцев назад

having seen the doc, but none of my friends have yet, it was great to have Andy put into words lots of the emotions and reactions I had to the profound doc. Appreciated the honest reaction, including having a somewhat enigmatic and evolving immediate reaction to an enigmatic Robert Fripp and the doc in question. Having listened to the music for over 40 years, seen KC live show, having familiarity with the quirky strange mr fripp, the doc show me I really didn't know the full deal, full scope, full breadth of what the band and the music are REALLY all about. And I was even further off on Mr. Fripp--- which left me with mixed emotions after the doc. And for that reason I have to call it an honest doc, not a KC worship piece which would have been the easier doc to do. And this was an honest reaction. I often disagree with Mr. Edwards opinions. Its what brings me back watching the channel, for when they differ from mine they are both honest and thought provoking. You wind up re-examining your own position. Kind of how he does on this journey of a reaction.

In the Rock & Roll world there are like all things done in a group of people a leader and followers. Add to that the general attitude is that the dividing line between getting the work needed to be done and having a party at the same is a given. When doing demanding complex music like Prog that borders on the impossible. The music made by Crimson works in spite of all that. Fripp's contribution is that of an army general in the battlefield. He need never apologize. There are no room for self indulgence or self pity in Crimson. Put out or leave .....the door is open, so its goodbye and have a nice day. I heard King Crimson in'69. I immediately as the cliche goes "Got it''. I quit my blues band went into a year of study, practice and discipline. I then jumped the pond to London UK's West End and joined Prog Rock band Tallis. I will not digress into that band except to say we opened for Rush on the merit of the bands music and at least half that audience were Tallis fans. My only advice to the Roberts of this world is to become a singer songwriter not just a guitarist. Write the bass players parts and only work in a trio. I am 76, still actively at it and damn well pleased with the results of my efforts. To those that say not everyone is up to it. I say everyone is that can pull their finger out of their butt and get the work done. .

My hard take. Is RF is determined to elevate KC music to be accepted as ‘high’ art. That’s fine he took control. Interesting though that it’s the original version of COTCK which is used as the intro and wrap around in the doc. Greg did leave him in the lurch. He didn’t like Starless but was forced to use it to fill out the album. I’m glad that it’s Wettons. That line up deserved attention for their work. RF then gets more insular experimenting with good musicians. He finally sees he HAS to reinvent KC. Due to his personality it all gets very over serious. The open take. He’s not the first as you say to instigate the silence or space. Eric Satie and ppl way before him sought it. I call it musical prayer. It’s the Ying to the Yang.You can try and explain it away through many sources. Religion. A higher experience. The void. I agree we are permanently aware of the void that we feel awaits us. Maybe that’s all art is. Us ‘doing’ stuff to distract ourselves from the inevitable. Whatever it is we should try and put everything we know into it. My first KC live gig with RF Wetton line up was an experience at 17 which prob changed me quite deeply. Consciously it made me realise there was a big world out there with very interesting creative ppl and I’m daily grateful and honoured I did and continue to experience it. You are entertaining, informative and you made me laugh again!

@richardsutton01 9 месяцев назад

I enjoyed the film and I enjoyed your video. My philosophy has changed as I have grown older and now, with only 10 or, if I'm very lucky, 20 years left, things seem to become clearer and clearer. Firstly, there is nothing special in homo sapiens. We are simply an animal like all other animals and when our heart pumps its last beat and the oxygen supply to our brain stops, then that is then end. There is nothing more. I sense that there is a need in most of us to reconcile our lives to some kind of harmony or balance as we approach the end and this inevitably leads us to reflect upon what it is that we will actually leave behind once we are gone. As I approach the end, the belief has grown stronger and stronger in me that the only thing we can leave behind which has potentially real value, over and above the material, is our children and their view on life and how to live it such that they will, in turn, find some kind of balance as they reach their own end. The more I reflect on this, the more I come to understand that, in the end, our children are our only chance. I suspect that Robert's reflections on life, it's meaning and it's passing would be very different if he had ever had children as the "meaning" of his life would then become clearer for him. Yes, music, art and culture are all important things that we can leave behind for those who follow and are probably all a step above the material, but, somehow, these are all simulacrums of what is really important.

Westerners discovered the key to enlightenment without entering a monastery during Fripps generation -LSD. When studying philosophy at university I looked into Bennett, as aCrimson fan and after hearing Fripp lecture, and found him to be a pretty insignificant figure. Many rockers at that time were on a spiritual quest with a variety of leaders. I think Bennets Englishness appealed to Fripp, as opposed to some of those more exotic eastern mystics. I guess he was like the Beats in that he sampled spiritual practices until he found one that fit his personality best. I must say, I have yet to see the doc.

Fripp's column, which ran from Sep '89 to Feb '91, was remarkable. And kudos to GP's editor at the time, Tom Wheeler, for publishing it, because it was way outside the bounds of what the majority of that magazine's readership was accustomed to. (The last two installments consisted of Fripp's responses to hostile feedback.)

@thingsmake 9 месяцев назад

Nice one man, really great thoughts and flow. Whether you call it discipline, ‘the work’, commitment or just ‘being bothered’, it was much harder to put music out in RF’s day because of the gatekeeper culture which dominated the commercial music sector at that time (which I think you’re a fan of?) - so you really had to be bothered to keep pushing yourself to write music, make a band, get a deal etc etc. Now, no none is asking anyone to make more content for RU-vid, so in a way, the commitment question is even tougher - why bother doing it? Who’s going to notice another drop in the internet ocean etc… It feels to me you’re doing a similar thing to old Fripp-face - ie bothering to do something, when it would be much easier not to. Keep on keeping on 🎉

It basically centered on the artists that I've loved for 30 years now: Trane, Mingus, Monk, Miles, Dolphy, Tatum, Rahsaan, Sonny...most all of it is from 1955-1967. This season, I am approaching many of the holes in my appreciation for jazz: fusion, vocal jazz, Duke Ellington, Kamasi Washington, Shabaka, Bill Evans and some episodes that cover entire decades. I plan on mentioning you in the two fusion videos (one on Miles, the other on...the field, I guess). You sound like quite the expert, in my estimation. Maybe you'll get an extra viewer or two.

After seeing your review, I watched the doc. Here are my takeaways: 1 -- Having missed the various recent tours due to living in Asia for the past 9 years, I really would have preferred a concert film with a behind-the-scenes featurette focused on Bill Reiflin. 2 - Fripp may be a genius but he's also an insufferable dickhead 3 - Most of Fripp's bandmates were terrified of him, but put up with his nonsense to play great music for appreciative audiences 4 -- Adrian Belew should have known better after 2 stints in KC 5 -- Bill Bruford was wise to retire and Trey Gunn was smart to move on

A little superficial, are we?

Is there anywhere in the states to purchase/stream? All I’m finding is DVD/Blu-Ray from Amazon or the KC online shop.

_Bruford quote nr.1_ [it was very long ago, when he made Earthworks so I don’t remember it well]: You don’t have to be like this, you don’t have to be like that “and you don’t have to be neurotic to enjoy the music of Earthworks.” Hinting about the music of KC. _Bruford quote nr.2_ [from the documentary]: The Americans [Belew and Levin] went out and had fun while he and Fripp were exercising and worrying about the coming show. The Americans came back and played a perfect show. Bruford called it neurosis, I am saying that tons of stiffness and rigidness have always been a part of Crimson, because of Fripp. He could not cope with such a free spirit as Jaimie Muir and he literally messed with his instruments, as Muir says. So he left. Other people have also left while others [Belew] were kicked. You talked about the part when Jakszyk is asked a question by the film maker and Fripp answers instead. But even more revealing are the seconds before Fripp’s answer. After hearing the question Jakszyk turns back to check if Fripp is there and will hear his answer… Belew said that Fripp surrounded himself with people whom he can control. The musicians we see in the documentary are not part of a “band” but some individuals playing together - with Fripp/for Fripp. As you said, the parts about Bill Rieflin give this documentary another dimension. As does the inclusion of the nun. I would have liked to hear more from the most balanced [imo] person in the band, Tony Levin. And by the end, you’ve also had your Bennett-moment.

Haha that’s a fuckin way to close a vid,( especially if you’re a Brit I’d imagine… although I’m aware that people from other cultures can ‘out-Brit’ us just when we least/most need it). The void is a human construct. Everything is. The neumenon however is the world beyond human construct and thus the void would need reframing within our more commonplace language and philosophy. All good though …. On a roll Mr.Edwards …. You sure you haven’t been watching more Ren ? I know I’ve been opening up to more Steven Wilson.

At times Crimson was undeniably heavy, dark, cutting edge and cerebrally powerful. Fripp/King Crimson hasn't always stayed at an apex level and at times seemed to be fairly redundant. Bands like Univers Zero, Present and Tipographica have revealed possibilities that expand on what King Crimson put out at their peak moments. There are also many 20th century "classical" composers whose works at times dwarf King Crimson in terms of complexity, nuance and range of expression. It's great that Fripp and his project came along and made music, but if they never existed, it's not like there would be a huge void or a significant diminishment of the musical landscape in the late 20th century. I've been a big Crimson fan for decades, but have to acknowledge that they're too often looked at as a uniquely omnipotent entity by a poorly informed fan base.

I was a big fan until Three of a Perfect Pair. It seemed like they were still trying to stay relevant there and after. I did enjoy Thrak, but that was a lifetime later.

@@stephencarroll230 From u.k. Totally agree with you. It’s the early albums for me, sinfield lyrics. Then the Palmer James, Bruford, Wetton, period. I sort of bailed out after RED, I read Fripp was going to change the name of the band to Discipline, he should have done, different path. I’ve tried after Red, and don’t get it! Going to see Fripp and his Missus soon, only because I probably won’t get the chance to see the man again. Take care, our numbers are dwindling!

@@madcyril4135 How meaningful were those Sinfield lyrics as a teen, and still true:"The fate of all mankind, I see, is in the hands of fools"? I did like Crimson when I saw them live in 1981 (no drugs).Each susequent time was less impressive. The new wave drumming of Beat was a little tough to get used to, but totally redeemed by Requiem. Take care!

@@stephencarroll230 Hope you have listened to sinfields only solo album from 1973 called STILL. And when re released decades later called STILLUSION. A masterpiece! Wetton on bass, check out the live footage of sinfield performing SONG OF THE SEAGOAT. On the old grey whistle, from 1973! On RU-vid. Take care.

Re:Larks Tongues cover art-Talk of the void is very much the tibetan buddhist concept of Shunyavada-its a metaphysic only realized through intense spiritual discipline. Its not so much something one can discuss in a space of twenty minutes. Good job otherwise
