For real! Find it if you can. Sclavunous acknowledged that everything he’s played on is the antithesis of ELP. Yet, seeing the Nice on TV as a kid with Keith playing anarchicly was an huge eye opener. He also expressed a soft spot for ELP.

Recently learned about the Keith Jarrett Köln Concert album, one of tbe bestselling and most critically acclaimed jazz albums of all time, which is a live recording of a starving, tired, and injured Keith Jarrett improvising live on a broken piano (there was a misunderstanding and the wrong piano—a rundown rehearsal one—was wheeled onto the stage). Amazing story, wonderful music.

You know, sometimes I am startled buy all the interesting things people can do with a lot of the same vocabulary. Like, this isn't especially original in a lot of ways, but it sure is a weird mixture of, say, Yes and Pink Floyd and perhaps other influences I can't think of.

Very pretty ! ...which not every clutch of Rawk Musicians can do.
In fact strikes me as like Yes with more real texture & less airbrushing ...not that I wish to dis Yes, actually...

Efrayim Barak did a good Jon Anderson-style vocal scoop; Yuval Rivlin did a decent job channeling Rick Wakeman.

This is '75 and later, well after Bruford-era Yes. Nothing can approach Close to the Edge or Tales, to my mind.

And of course I know that Bruford is not the drummer for Tales.

It actually sounds a lot like Anderson's first solo album.
