Interview with Jakko M. Jakszyk from 2017

Well , King Crimson takes up a lot of time. When we're not touring or rehearsing I'm writing and demoing for the band, going through live shows, editing etcetera.

I've also been "re mixing" albums from the original multi-tracks in stereo and 5.1 surround. I've done some Jethro Tull. Indeed, I mixed Ian Anderson's last solo album. I did both Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery' by ELP, and I've just finished the first two Bruford albums which are being released as a box set next month.

Well Crimson have a full year next year across Europe and ending in Japan. Plus, there's plans for 2019, which is their 50th anniversary year

My son is into Thundercat, so that's been on in the car lately, and I've just bought the new Everything Everything album. Haven't had the chance to listen to it yet, but I'm a big fan of theirs.

I highly recommend The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Simm by Jonathon Coe, indeed anything by Jonathon. He's brilliant.

I do, pretty vividly. It was Juicy Lucy and Stone The Crows at Hemel Hempstead in 1971

The second band I saw that same year was Yes, followed by King Crimson!

I've started using a Line 6 Helix live. It's a fantastic piece of kit and so easy to program and edit.
