The Profile

A jazz trio that reinterpreted King Crimson compositions as jazz arrangements; recorded at least a first and a second volume of the King Crimson Songbook. Drummer Ian Wallace participated and is noted in reviews.

From the DeBaser review: personnel cited include Ian Wallace (drums), Joey Nardone (piano) and Tim Laden (fretless bass). The review (2007) notes Volume Two was recorded in 2006 and mentions contributions by Jakko Jakszyk and Mel Collins. Ian Wallace's passing in 2007 is also mentioned in the review.

One DeBaser review analyzes the trio's jazz reinterpretations of King Crimson material, praising several tracks (21st Century Schizoid Man, Three of a Perfect Pair, Starless, I Talk to the Wind) while finding some arrangements weaker (Cat Food). The project features Ian Wallace and resulted in two volumes; Volume Two records include contributions by Jakko Jakszyk and Mel Collins. Overall a respectful, mixed appraisal.
