I'm surprised no one's mentioned that Tony Levin was in King Crimson in all the 80s and some of the 90s incarnations and Project 1 and Project 4 (various King Crimson spin off projects) all must listens IMO. Fantastic music.

He was then replaced by Trey Gunn, a Fripp protege. He's a WARR guy, but really good and I enjoy all his solo works as well.

In no particular order, here are some artists in my 'Stick' catagory that get regular plays in no particular order:

Jason Sturgess - Curio ( there once was a free download somewhere on his site, thanks Jason! )

Trey Gunn - One Thousand Years ( buy -- I think he was still on the Stick at this point )

Bert Lams And Tom Griesgraber - Live at Momms ( buy )

Oceans in Space ( free downloads -- DGRF now playing as I type. Ben, which recordings have Stick in them? Thanks for the tunes. )

Currently going back through my old collection of cds. Happy the Man's self-titled album really slaying me right now. Perhaps the most technically gifted band in that genre, in that time period. What a trip to hear that keyboardist. It's more poignant knowing they were from Harrisonburg, just a hop, skip and a jump from my place in Virginia Beach.

Anybody here remember the Muffins?

Yeah, they were great...and Happy the Man too...haven't listened to either in 20+ years, though...now I miss my old prog LP collection, which I sold to buy classical music....

Mad Monk.

Both Trey and Tony are on KC's "thrak!" and the album that came after it.

The Chapman Stick Meets The Beatles
Michael Kollwitz

3 reasons
1. It isn't jazz... which seems to be the overwhelming genre of the stick.
2. mostly solo stick
3.All songs are well known, ease of :D comparisons.

IMHO some songs do not translate well to the Stick, but some of the ballads do very well.

Jazz is the overwhelming Genre? I think. I disagree.

It depends on what you call jazz, I guess. I think instrumental music, for sure improv based yes but jazz? no.
