Jakko Jakszyk - Mustard Gas And Roses - 1994
By Brian Steffensen, progarchives.com
It is great to have Jakko on the Archive at last. This is a wonderful Prog related album with
Canterbury Scene influences. I say this because some of the tracks are clearly more pop rlated, but
definitely with heay progressive rock influences. This music is very much in the Gaskin and Stewart
/ Caravan category of Prog Rock. There are some incredible instrumentals here. Just listen to
"Devil's Dictionary" and you'll realise that this some of the best melodic jazz fusion meets
Canterbury prog rock around. "when We Go Home" is another classic with well constructed melody and
rhythm patterns with meaningful lyrics. Some of the other tracks do not come to standard of the two
tracks, but are still very enjoyable to anyone appreciates good rock music.

De passagem pela casa, resolvi arriscar uma orelhada no Jakko Jakszyk. O cara é bom músico, mas eu nunca gostei daquela banda que ele tinha, o Level 42, mas sou muito fã de King Crimson e num dia desses, quando descobri a 21st Century Schizoid Band, formada por ex membros do Crimson, exceto Jakko, ele me deixou uma impressão muito positiva, ao substituir a voz de Greg Lake e ainda fazer as guitarras do Robert Fripp com perfeição. Agora, ouvindo Mustard Gas and Roses (belo disco de prog canterbury scene), começo a simpatizar ainda mais com o trabalho dele, deixando um pouco de lado a má impressão causada pelo Level 42, que, cá para nós, era chato para caralho mesmo!
Abraço,

Level 42 é intragável. Aquilo para mim é Nivel Zero kkkkkk
Tb gosto mto do 21st Century Band. Ainda mais que o repertório deles era calcado na primeira fase do Crimson (da qual mais gosto).
Ele mesmo (jakko) dizia que se divertia muito fazendo o trabalho de Lake e Fripp em uma só tacada.
Eu ainda vou desovar 2 ou 3 coisas dele (inclusive o Romantic Bruised que circula pela net num rip sofrível). É só aguarda um pouquinho. Aliás a discografia dele é dificil até mesmo para comprar
Valeu sua visita. Ela é sempre muito bem vinda.
