Ian McDonald (born on June 25 , 1946 in London , England ) was a member and producer of the Progressive Rock Group called King Crimson , formed in 1969. McDonald was in the band's initial line up with Greg Lake , Michael Giles , Robert Fripp and Peter Sinfield . McDonald and Giles formed a spin-off group who released one album, ''McDonald & Giles''. Prior to joining the group, McDonald served five years in the British Army as a bandsman. His music talent ranged from Classical Orchestra to dance bands to Rock . He was also a member/founder of Gibraltar and Foreigner . He has been a session musician and appeared in the recording of ''Get It On (Bang a Gong)'' by T. Rex . His latest solo record is ''Drivers Eyes'' in 1999. In 1997 , the release of the 4CD set '' Epitaph '', consisting of rare live recordings of the 1969 version of King Crimson, renewed interest in the early Crimson material. Out of that interest, the 21st Century Schizoid Band was formed in 2002 and several tours and live albums have followed. The band includes former King Crimson members Michael Giles (drums & percussion), Peter Giles (bass), Ian McDonald (sax, flute, keyboards), Mel Collins (alto / tenor sax, flute, keyboards) and also Jakko Jakszyk from Level 42 on guitar and lead vocals. After the first tour Michael Giles was replaced with another former King Crimson drummer Ian Wallace . REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
