Listening Booth – King Crimson, “One More Red Nightmare”
More prog goodness, you say? Sure! Here’s my favorite KC tune ever, from their 1974 masterpiece Red.
Witness the majestic and face-melting drumming of one Bill Bruford, who absolutely owns on this number. My favorite moment comes just after the 4:20 mark, when he kicks out this sinister groove that I could listen to on repeat all day. That weird-sounding cymbal he uses, in a stroke of great luck, was the result of some impromptu dumpster-diving.
Forget just prog rock, kids, music doesn’t get much better than this.

Glad you enjoyed it. And by the way, if you ever manage to score an interview with Hank Jones on your site I will be forever in your debt. Well, at least for a few months.
