INTERVIEW TIMELINE:
00:00 - Intro
00:20 - Latest line-up for the 50the anniversary shows; Theo Travis stepping in for Bill Rieflin as additional keyboard player, although he's best known for his sax playing with the likes of Steven Wilson, David Sylvian and working in a duo with Robert Fripp.
00:45 - Royal Albert Hall dates on 18-19-20 June 2019. What we can expect compared to what the band played at last year's shows at the London Palladium.
01:26 - How has Jakko developed as a musician over the years working with KC musicians and the band
02:00 - Does playing with KC inspire his solo work
02:35 - Possible collaborations. He's got various players in mind. He'd like to do something with Nick Harper (Roy Harper's son)
03:52 - Where do you see your long term future with KC. Will there be a version without Robert for example ?
03:59 - In terms of your own career within KC, do you feel you're just getting started now?
05:06 - The impact of the stage configurations (drummers at front and lead instruments at rear). The idea that it's the first line up of the band without someone resenting him. There isn't main ego type of person, we're all in it together to serve the music
