Reformation annoncée de UK sous kle nom UKZ !
Heures de gloire 1979 avec Allan HOLDSWORTH - EDDIE JOBSON - BILL BRUFORD etc !!!
Announcing "UKZ" – the definitive musicians' band, formed by keyboard and
electric-
violin legend Eddie Jobson. Returning from a self-imposed 27-year retirement
from band
and touring activity, the reclusive progressive-music pioneer and `UK'
co-founder set out
to find the same caliber of next-generation musicians for the new UKZ project
that would
equal or surpass the talents of his previous colleagues and collaborators—an
impressive
list that includes Frank Zappa, Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, John
Entwistle, Ian
Anderson, Simon Phillips, Terry Bozzio, Allan Holdsworth, and Tony Levin.
Jobson—who was born and raised in the Durham area of England—has hand-selected a
truly international dream-band of virtuosos from around the world:
Aaron Lippert—a citizen of Belgium, but born and raised in New York—the former
lead
singer and songwriter for Columbia recording artists Expanding Man.
Trey Gunn—a Texas native, currently residing in Seattle—a ten-year veteran of
King
Crimson and the leading exponent of the Warr touch guitar.
Alex Machacek—from Vienna, Austria—an award-winning guitar prodigy and composer.
Marco Minnemann—from Hannover, Germany—a drumming phenomenon of unparalleled
virtuosity.
Fittingly, for an international 21st-century band that formed on the internet,
the group are
working together digitally, exchanging music and video files electronically from
their
respective cities. Their self-titled debut album is slated for release in
February, 2008, and
the "One City World Tour" special-event premier concert will take place on
January 25,
2008 in Los Angeles [details to be announced].
Also at the L.A. concert will be the world premier of Tony Levin's "Project
Sticks," with stick
player Michael Bernier joining Tony, along with drummer Pat Mastelotto (King
Crimson).
