Jamie Muir (1942.11.30 - 2025.02.17) 🙁
Bill Bruford
-----------------------
Jamie Muir died today 17.02.2025 in Cornwall, UK, with his brother George by his side. From Bill:
Jamie was the drummer/percussionist with whom I worked on the King Crimson album 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973). He had a volcanic effect on me, professionally and personally, in the brief time we were together many years ago – an effect which I still remember half a century later. I'm sorry we lost touch, but his departure from our working relationship was so sudden and unexpected, I sort of assumed he didn't want anything more to do with me and my colleagues in King Crimson!
He was a lovely, artistic man, childlike in his gentleness. There was probably a dark side underneath. It could be be glimpsed as he climbed the PA stacks in a wolf's fur jacket, blood (from a capsule) pouring from his mouth, on a rainy Thursday night in Preston, Lancs., to hurl chains across the stage at his drumkit. One of these Robert Fripp will tell you, only narrowly missed him.
His conversations with Jon Anderson at my 1973 wedding party, in Jon's words, 'changed my life'. Jamie also changed mine.
I consider it a privilege to have known, and benefitted from the company of, a man of such quiet power, even briefly. He struck me as one of those about whom one might truthfully say he was a beautiful human being. He will be much missed. Goodbye, Jamie.
