Episode 3: Robert Berry on 3.2 and Keith Emerson

from Michael's Record Collection · host Michael Citro

Robert Berry is a talented guy and he's worked with a lot of other talented musicians. His latest release is "Third Impression" under the moniker 3.2. The 3.2 project emerged out of the band 3 from the late 1980s when Berry connected with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer of ELP to record and release "To the Power of Three." The project was shelved for years until he convinced Emerson the time was right for a follow-up. Unfortunately, before all the recording had been completed, Emerson took his own life.  In this interview, Berry talks in depth about working with Keith, why and how the second 3.2 release (and third of the trio including 3) came about, and working with Palmer. He even talks a bit about meeting and playing with Greg Kihn.  I appreciate you listening!
