David Jackson & Marco lo Muscio – ‘Project One’ – Velut Luna
Project One was recorded ‘LIVE’ in Rome 24/26th July 2023 by Marco Lincetto from Velut Luna – in Chiesa San Gregorio VII, near the Vatican in Rome. Marco lo Muscio played the massive organ (& some piano elsewhere) – and David Jackson played all his saxophones, flute and whistles. Steve and John Hackett added marvellous guitar and flute later. The temperature in Rome during those days ranged from 39 to 43 degrees so our organ tuner Daniel Taccini was at his exercise each day in the baking and dusty organ loft! David stayed at Marco’s incredible Museo Wunderkammer where they rehearsed everyday day for their evening sessions in the church. It was intense and challenging – but the result is exceptional – available on vinyl, CD and Super Audio!

ALBUM DESCRIPTION
“Project One”: a recording project Velut Luna that was born thanks to the friendship and the long musical and artistic collaboration of the M, Marco Lo Muscio. with three iconic names of progressive and contemporary music: David Jackson, John Hackett and Steve Hackett.
The project is a great tribute, with totally acoustic arrangements, to the various styles of the great music of the ‘900 and contemporary. The basic system sees the gothic and symphonic sound of the pipe organ amalgamated with the power of the saxophones of David Jackson. The guitar of Steve Hackett and the flute of John Hackett add the final touch in some special arrangements created specifically for this recording project.
The composers chosen come from the world of music of the ‘900 and contemporary (Benjamin Britten, György Ligeti, Aaron Copland, George Martin and Marco Lo Muscio), soundtracks (Wojciech Kilar), Modern Jazz (Jan Garbarek) and Progressive (King Crimson, Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, David Jackson and Steve Hackett). Listening acoustically to this music will reveal new nuances and details; you will also understand how progressive music interpreted in this key is actually very close and influenced by classical music of the ‘900.
Finally, the well-known high quality of Velut Luna recordings by Marco Lincetto will offer an incredible sound range in listening to this original and unique recording project!
