The Crimson Jazz Trio, westcoasters who are rarely heard in my part of the world are releasing the King Crimson Songbook vol. 2 on the Inner Knot label. The outing was the last on this earth for drummer Ian Wallace and it scintillates. The trio is joined by tenorist Mel Collins in original compositions which reflect a cohesion that would certainly be welcome here in Gotham. Go East young men!
