David Cross & Peter Banks - Crossover (2020)

Crossover is an album by violinist David Cross and guitarist Peter Banks. The album is based on violin and guitar improvisations recorded on the afternoon of 10 August 2010. The two had met on a short joint tour in March 2006, featuring the David Cross Band and Peter Banks's Harmony in Diversity. Banks died in 2013 and Cross could not initially bring himself to return to the recordings. When he finally did, he worked with Tony Lowe and they invited in various musicians, largely with connections to Yes, of which Banks had been a member, or King Crimson, of which Cross had been a member. Additional parts were recorded in 2018/9. Guest musicians were invited to "interpret the music as freely and creatively as" they wished.
