Of all the King Crimson side-projects – known as ‘projeKcts’ – one of the most surprising appeared in 2011, after Robert Fripp found a new guitar buddy in lifelong fan Jakko Jakszyk, and then invited former colleague Mel Collins to join in. A Scarcity Of Miracles was the only album released under the Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins banner, but all three would go on to participate in the final version of Crimson itself. At the time of the launch, with Fripp having retired from speaking to the press, Jakszyk told Prog about the series of incidents that brought the music into being, and Collins discussed how it felt to reconnect fully with Fripp decades after their acrimonious split.
