U.K. Revisited - Featuring Eddie Jobson, Marc Bonilla, Alex Machacek and Marco Minnemann
Legendary musician Eddie Jobson, the co-founder of ’70s progressive-rock supergroup ‘U.K.,’ is returning to the U.S. for just three concerts in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Performing the music of U.K. for the first time in almost a decade, he is joined by Marc Bonilla (CTA, Keith Emerson Band); Alex Machacek (U.K., Brand X); and Marco Minnemann (U.K., Hans Zimmer, The Aristocrats).
Though best-known as the first violinist inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and as one of the top keyboard players in the progressive-rock genre, having played with Curved Air, King Crimson, Yes and Jethro Tull, Jobson has actually spent the majority of his career as a cross-genre composer and producer. A child prodigy violinist and young classical composer and pianist, he first came to international attention replacing Brian Eno as synthesist in the influential art-rock band Roxy Music at the age of 18; going on to becoming Frank Zappa’s keyboardist and electric violinist at the age of 21, and forming U.K. at 22 with Allan Holdsworth, John Wetton and Bill Bruford. Leaving the rock world and international arena touring at the age of 25, Jobson became a multi-award-winning composer for television and film, scoring over 100 TV dramas, working on several movies, and focusing on a diverse range of recording projects for his own international label Globe Music, before briefly reforming U.K. in 2014.
Regarded by many as the consummate musician, Jobson’s live performances have received accolades worldwide for their musical power and for the band’s unparalleled virtuosity.
