Veteran prog-rock violinist and keyboardist Eddie Jobson has released a new live album compiling performances he did with his all-star U-Z Project in recent years in various cities around the world.
Eddie Jobson –- Live, which is available now as a two-CD set, features renditions of songs by his old band U.K., as well as tunes by such other well-known prog-rock groups as King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Bruford and Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Among the musicians who played with Jobson at his U-Z Project shows were current King Crimson bassist Tony Levin, drummer Simon Phillips, ex-King Crimson guitarist Trey Gunn, journeyman prog-rock bassist Billy Sheehan, and former U.K. touring members Alex Machacek, Marco Minnemann, Mike Mangini and Greg Howe. In addition, late King Crimson, U.K. and Asia singer/bassist John Wetton made guest appearances.
The performances featured on the album were recorded at shows in Los Angeles, Boston, Tokyo, Russia and Poland.
Besides U.K., Jobson has played and/or recorded with such bands as Roxy Music, Frank Zappa, King Crimson and Jethro Tull. In 2019, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Roxy Music.
