Jakko is joined by a formidable array of guest contributors to this album.
Reading like a who’s who of the best and most innovative musicians from the UK music scene of the last 30 years they include drummer Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), acoustic bassist Danny Thompson (Pentangle, John Martyn), sax and flute from Mel Collins (King Crimson, Roger Waters) electric bass from Mark King (Level 42) piano & keyboards from Dave Stewart (ex-Hatfield & The North), drummer Ian Wallace (King Crimson, Bob Dylan), Soft Machine bassist, Hugh Hopper, ex-Egg drummer, Clive Brooks and guitarist Robert Fripp (King Crimson). Plus many others.
The Bruised Romantic glee Club is the new solo album by composer/guitarist/singer Jakko M. Jakszyk.
Combining strong melodic tunes, glorious choruses, high production values with first class musicianship, The Bruised Romantic Glee Club contains two CD's. The first disc, entitled 'Now,' is set of original material written over the last year by Jakko.
The second CD of this double set, entitled 'Then,' features a series of eclectic cover versions of songs including material by Henry Cow, King Crimson and Soft Machine.
The Bruised Romantic Glee Club deploys luscious ballads, mature pop melodies, widescreen dynamic instrumentals and hauntingly beautiful tunes whose lyrical content often borders on the confessional.
It’s not the first time Jakko has ventured into musical autobiography. His Sony Award nominated piece The Road To Ballina (commissioned by BBC Radio 3) explored his upbringing as an adopted child.
With his virtuoso guitar technique and heartfelt, passionate singing voice to the fore, this a poignant and stirring release that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved, lost and danced in 12/8 time.
Many Thanks for the friendship & support. Please click on the banner below to go to Evil Masquerade's page where you can check out their music, including 5 songs from their new album.
was just listening to the schizoid band today. awesome stuff. if you read these, you should note that SNOCAP is out of business. even though their website is up, there's nobody taking care of it. if somebody buys a song from you, it'll charge them but they won't get anything and there will not be a record of the sale on your end or their end. i wasted 89c myself just to test it. peace.
