Announcing "UKZ" -- the definitive musicians' band, formed by keyboard
and electric-violin legend Eddie Jobson. Returning from a self-imposed
27-year retirement from band and touring activity, the reclusive
progressive-music pioneer and 'UK' co-founder set out to find the same
caliber of next-generation musicians for the new UKZ project that
would equal or surpass the talents of his previous colleagues and
collaborators--an impressive list that includes Frank Zappa, Robert
Fripp, Bill Bruford, Phil Collins, John Entwistle, Ian Anderson, Simon
Phillips, Terry Bozzio, Allan Holdsworth, and Tony Levin.

Jobson -- who was born and raised in the Durham area of England -- has
hand-selected a truly international dream-band of virtuosos from
around the world:

Aaron Lippert -- a citizen of Belgium, but born and raised in New York
-- the former lead singer and songwriter for Columbia recording
artists Expanding Man.

Trey Gunn -- a Texas native, currently residing in Seattle -- a
ten-year veteran of King Crimson and the leading exponent of the Warr
touch guitar.

Alex Machacek -- from Vienna, Austria -- an award-winning guitar
prodigy and composer.

Marco Minnemann -- from Hannover, Germany -- a drumming phenomenon of
unparalleled virtuosity.

Fittingly, for an international 21st-century band that formed on the
internet, the group are working together digitally, exchanging music
and video files electronically from their respective cities. Their
self-titled debut album is slated for release in February 2008, and
the "One City World Tour" special-event premier concert will take
place on January 25, 2008 in Los Angeles [details to be announced].

Also at the L.A. concert will be the world premier of Tony Levin's
"Project Sticks," with stick player Michael Bernier joining Tony,
along with former King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto.
