David Cross and David Jackson
Another Day
Review by Gary Hill
Before I gave this disc a spin, I was expecting something very different than what it turned out to be. For some reason I thought this would be particularly mellow and restful music. Well, it is not. Instead, this is powerful instrumental jazz prog that is quite varied from number to number (and sometimes within a song). It has elements of King Crimson, but there is a lot more going on here, too. There is a really good chance that this disc will make my "best of 2018" list. David Cross is probably best known for his work with King Crimson, but he has done a lot more over the years. David Jackson was part of Van der Graaf Generator. Their sound is augmented by Mick Paul (bass) and Craig Blundell (drums).
