Ex King Crimson Violinist David Cross Talks New Album on Interviewing the Legends

Ex-King Crimson Violinist David Cross Announces the Release of New Studio Album “Ice Blue, Silver Sky” OUT NOW!Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.Initially inspired by Leadbelly, the Beatles, Bartok, Coltrane and his church organist father, David became an irrepressible improvisor and experimenter.  His subsequent immersion in rock music introduced him to a new, vast pool of expressive possibilities.  Currently, he plays a half fretted Violectra electric violin with 5 strings and an octave drop pedal, giving him a pitch range from the bottom of the cello to the top of the violin.David Cross was a member of King Crimson during the 1970s and continues to have a loyal fan base. He’s best known for playing violin on the albums “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic” and “Starless and Bible Black”.The musicians featured on his new album “Ice Blue, Silver Sky” include Jinian Wilde, Mick Paul, Steve Roberts and a special guest appearance on two tracks by David Jackson of Van Der Graaf Generator.This new studio album features new tracks along with new recordings of the two classic King Crimson tracks “Exiles” and “Starless”. The album title refers to a lyric in Starless and King Crimson lyricist Richard Palmer-James contributes to the lyrics on this album.PLEASE WELCOME English electric violinist and keyboardist best known for playing with progressive rock band King Crimson from 1972 to 1974 …DAVID CROSSto Interviewing the Legends… PURCHASE“Ice Blue, Silver Sky”By DAVID CROSSavailable atAmazon CD: https://geni.us/DCBcdApple Music: https://geni.us/DCBamSpotify: https://geni.us/DCBspAlso available directly from Cherry Red: https://www.cherryred.co.uk/artist/david-cross/David Cross said of the album "There is a narrative to this album which emerges from a patchwork of natural soundbites, lyrics and scripted text.
