Info for Secrets & Lies
Jakko Jakszyks Leben veränderte sich als er King Crimson in der Watford Town Hall am 15. Juli 1971 live erlebte. Der Sound dieser Band flößte dem 13-jährigen Jakko die Enschlossenheit ein, ein professioneller Musiker zu werden. Damit begann seine äußerst bemerkenswerte Karriere. 2020 erfolgt nun die Veröffentlichung von Jakko Jakszyks neuestem Studioalbum »Secrets & Lies«, welches er gemeinsam mit den King Crimson-Bandmitgliedern Robert Fripp, Gavin Harrison, Tony Levin und Mel Collins aufgenommen hat.
Es beinhaltet zehn Songs, die Themen wie Obsession, Verrat und die aktuellen Veränderungen in der Politik behandeln, aber es geht auch um ganz persönliche Themen wie z.B. die Verworrenheit von Familiengeschichten. »Secrets & Lies« balanciert gekonnt zwischen sensiblem Songwriting, musikalischem Können und zugänglichen Melodien. All diese Elemente ergießen sich in eine beeindruckende cineastische Soundwelt. Drei der Tracks, »Separation«, »Under Lock & Key« und »Uncertain Times«, sind in King Crimson Writing Sessions entstanden.
Das Ergebnis ist ein reifes Werk, überquellend mit sehnsüchtigen Melodien in symphonischen und breiten Settings, flüssigen Gitarrenläufen und Jakkos emotionalem Gesang. Besondere Gastauftritte sind der Simple Minds Bassist John Giblin, Mark King von Level 42 und Peter Hammill von Van Der Graaf Generator, der auch am Songwirting eines Songs beteiligt war. Das neue Album ist Jakko Jakszyks ausgereiftestes Soloalbum bislang.
"Jazzrock, Neo Prog, Avantgarde, Soundscapes, balladeskes Liedermachertum und ein bisschen Massentauglichkeit … das alles vereint JAKKO M JAKSZYK auf diesem Album zu einem stimmigen, nach ihm selbst klingenden Ganzen, wobei die Tatsache, dass sich kein mitreißender Ohrwurm unter den Songs findet, ein vernachlässigbares "Manko" ist."

Jakko M Jakszyk
Though best known for his work as a vocalist and guitarist in King Crimson since 2013, with whom he has played sold-out nights at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, the ancient Amphi-theatre in Pompeii and three nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Jakszyk has enjoyed a busy and diverse career spanning nearly five decades.
Encompassing late 1970s art-rock outfit, 64 Spoons, once memorably described as ‘Stravinsky meets the Barron Knights,’ he’s been signed to the legendary Stiff record label, toured with Canterbury Scene legends Dave Stewart and Pip Pyle as a member of Rapid Eye Movement. Along with numerous studio sessions both as player and producer, including becoming a member of The Kinks for a week, Jakko’s musical career has been nothing if not eclectic.
Named by Guitarist Magazine as one of the top guitarists in the 1980s, his playing caught attention the Mark King who brought him in to replace the legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth, in Level 42 with whom Jakko recorded and played live with for four years in the early 1990s.
A talented multi-instrumentalist, his ability to work within the rigours of avant-garde rock through to sleek, intelligent pop have seen him work with a wide and diverse array of artists that includes Golden Palimino’s Anton Fier, Mica Paris, Tom Robinson, Peter Blegvad, Henry Cow’s John Greaves, Japan’s Mick Karn, and Richard Barbieri, Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin, Steve Hackett and Steven Wilson.
A recipient of the 'Chris Squire Virtuoso award' at the 2017 Progressive Music Awards at Shakespeare's Globe in London, Jakszyk has also earned a reputation as an in-demand remixing engineer and producer. In this role, he has been commissioned to remix several classic progressive rock albums in stereo and 5.1 surround sound including ELP’s Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery, Chris Squire’s Fish Out Of Water, King Crimson’s THRAK, The Moody Blues’ In Search Of The Lost Chord and several in-concert performances of Jethro Tull included on the multi-disc reissues for Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses, Minstrel In The Gallery and others.
