Keyboard Wizards – The Ultimate Anthology is the first collection to truly celebrate the greatest keyboard players in rock history. Too often the spotlight has shone on the guitar heroes, leaving the keyboard masters in the shadows. This anthology redresses the balance, showcasing the virtuosity, power, and genius of musicians whose outstanding technical and artistic ability shaped the sound of progressive and classic rock. Featuring unforgettable performances from legends including Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, Rick Wakeman, Geoff Downes, David Sinclair, Karl Jenkins, Thijs Van Leer, Ken Hensley, and Vincent Crane, this anthology brings their artistry to the forefront. Also included is The Next Generation of Keyboard Wizards, with contributions from Iain Jennings (Mostly Autumn) and Jonathan Edwards (Karnataka). Digitally remastered for 5.1 surround sound, this two-hour program gives these maestros of the keys the collective bow they so richly deserve.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
