    Woke up to see this and it made my day as a Yes fanatic. Years ago, I was on a plane watching "Jack Frost," of all things and I got distracted/intrigued by the music only to find "Trevor Rabin," in the credits. I remember those Yes era tours fondly and ARW was phenomenal in concert.

    I was blown away when I heard that Charles Bisharat was playing on RIO and has worked with Trevor for years. I listened to his magic with a new age band called Shadowfax for years. Then he played with Yanni. I have been looking forward to Trevor's new album since I heard it was dropping. Great interview Jim (aka FanBoy).

  • @lonnie_johnson93

    Oh great! there aren't many interviews with Trevor. I do think that he doesn't get the credit he deserves as a guitarist. His albums Wolf and Can't Look Away are really good. He brought new life to Yes with 90125 and I thought both the Union album (and live concerts) and Talk were great albums. It's a shame the old fans always compared him with the old Yes. And also the way Steve Howe treated him - which I can sorta understand because here is this young, handsome looking guy who is a master musician kinda taking 'your spot' but he as he explained clearly the band was meant to be Cinema. Then again he brought a whole new generation of fans to Yes (including me). Shame so many members died, Chris Squire Alan White. And allthough the RnRHoF induction was great and welldeserved with Steve Howe's speech and Rick Wakeman's comedy I find it kinda sad that nobody mentioned Tony Kaye that night, who played an integral part in the resurgence of Yes in the '80s and was a great musician. He also passed away years ago. Thanks for a great interview 🙏👍 R.I.P. to all the members of Yes who aren't with us anymore

    Great interview Jim! I couldn't believe that you had managed to get an interview with Trevor, but you did and it was very good. I was living in South Africa when Rabbitt became a pop phenomenon in 1976 but it was clear Trevor was the creative force. His reputation as a musician/producer grew after Rabbitt split and it was obvious he would make it big overseas, but never with Yes! That surprised us all in SA, but in a nice way. I've been a Rabin fan since '76 so it was such fun to watch your interview. Will this be the precursor to more big name chats?

    Any good musician worth her salt would welcome with open arms a fellow musician who has not only heard all the best music, but who has given them a deep listening...such as you have done over the years. Your solid line with Trevor -- who, after all, has the same birthday as King Crimson, Gurdjieff and yours truly -- creates a dotted line between you and, say, Jon Anderson, and all other connections Trevor has. And a dotted line connection is better than no connection at all, and has its own energy toward becoming solid. At least according the my "law of social triangularity" from back in the '90s, presaging Facebook. So that is why I think you will get to jam with all your favorite musicians, even create a supergroup. Maybe create a virtual band in the Metasphere, with you, Dean, Nick, Lex, Scot, et les autre formidables. Oui ou non? Wish you and Mr. Rabin, who looks great, btw, had jammed. Next time.
