| Jakko’s Dear Mr. Eliot :: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Jun 11, 2014 Jakko Jakszyk’s Dear Mr Eliot: When Groucho Met Tom will be broadcast on on Saturday 14th June as part of BBC Radio 3’s Between The Ears series. The show is a musical fantasy, part drama-part documentary based on the meeting between Groucho Marx and TS Eliot – a fairly unlikely mutual fan club by any stretch of the imagination. In addition to writing the script and music for the programme, Jakko also plays the part of TS Eliot alongside Lenny Henry’s Groucho. The Independent newspaper ran an interview with Jakko yesterday about the programme and Jakko and Lenny are guests on Saturday’s Loose Ends on Saturday to talk about the show. Crimheads will not that it’s not the first time TS Eliot has had an association with King Crimson. The Deception Of The Thrush takes its title from a line in Eliot’s The Four Quartets and of course a sample of Eliot reading from the work also appears on many performances of that tune. The Radio Times previews Jakko’s show: Stereotypical views of the poet TS Eliot and the comic actor Groucho Marx are blown so far out of the water in this musical fantasy that writer Jakko Jakszyk might just as well have attached his script to a torpedo. Eliot is no po-faced high priest of modernism and Marx is so much more than an artist who relies upon exaggerated physicality for laughs. Based upon a real-life encounter between the two, when Marx went to dinner at Eliot’s London residence in 1964, it reveals the almost boyish admiration they had for one another’s talents. A further delight is Lenny Henry’s narration and his performance as Marx. |

| King Crimson At Work And Play :: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Jun 11, 2014 Taken from last night’s Facebook update by Trev Wilkins. 
After the excellent rehearsal (those drummers are so good and great things from Mel) we spent some time working on the guitar sounds and updating our previous user presets. Tomorrow we have photographer Scarlet Page coming to tale some band photos so the band will all be in Sunday best! Afterwards some of the time took themselves to a local hostelry for a well deserved meal and chinwag.  Here’s a shot posted by Gavin on his Facebook page. He writes “King Crimson full band rehearsals !!! In a much bigger room this time. Lots of good stuff happening.“  |
