Is the fact that the duo are in New York anything to do with this show having a more in-yer-face vibe about it than the previous evening’s performance? After the jaunty opening of Mission Possible, Fripp gets down to some classic ProjeKct soloing as Belew turns up the heavy beats.
If the previous evening’s Time Groove had its moments, the New York franchise really begins to really fly as Ade keeps things steady, providing Fripp with the space and pace to open up with some emotional flurries that ache with a simple beauty. Queer Jazz NYC sees Fripp also taking some lines for a potential Crimson tune which had been in the air for while out for a breath of fresh air.
There’s a palpable confidence to this performance than in Boston leading to a more dynamic and committed gig.
