About Me |
|
| The Bruised Romantic glee Club is the new solo album by composer/guitarist/singer Jakko M. Jakszyk.Combining strong melodic tunes, glorious choruses, high production values with first class musicianship, The Bruised Romantic Glee Club contains two CD's. The first disc, entitled 'Now,' is set of original material written over the last year by Jakko.The second CD of this double set, entitled 'Then,' features a series of eclectic cover versions of songs including material by Henry Cow, King Crimson and Soft Machine.The Bruised Romantic Glee Club deploys luscious ballads, mature pop melodies, widescreen dynamic instrumentals and hauntingly beautiful tunes whose lyrical content often borders on the confessional.It’s not the first time Jakko has ventured into musical autobiography. His Sony Award nominated piece The Road To Ballina (commissioned by BBC Radio 3) explored his upbringing as an adopted child.With his virtuoso guitar technique and heartfelt, passionate singing voice to the fore, this a poignant and stirring release that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved, lost and danced in 12/8 time. | |
