Kasim working with Jim

*AndyK* · 02 Feb 2011, 14:40

According to the message posted by Kasim yesterday on the KasimInfo.com site, he's (in his own words) "just got back from a recording session for a secret project with Jim Steinman".

No further info than that, but enough to start the speculation no doubt ...

Evil One · 02 Feb 2011, 14:48

Past experience leads me to believe absolutely nothing will come of it.

daveake · 02 Feb 2011, 14:56

The speculation usually lasts for much longer than the project

Fingers crossed though ...

Cant say im too excited. Id like to see Jim concentrating solely on the bat musical.

daveake · 02 Feb 2011, 15:28

Perhaps these things are related?

I would imagine that that's exactly what he is doing, with Kasim's views on being true to the original Bat arrangements I'd imagine he'd be perfect to have on board.

daveake · 02 Feb 2011, 16:11

Exactly.

Evil One · 02 Feb 2011, 16:13

As far as being a secret project though I think it's failed!

Smoggy?

**allrevvedup** · 02 Feb 2011, 17:31

if it helps to actually produce something in the form of the Bat musical then it has to be a good thing.

It's remarkable that they consider the bat musical a secret projetct.

It would be great to see some "new" Steinman stuff soon. His work pace seems to be rather slow but maybe collaborating with a qualified partner will accelerate it and lead to interesting results? It's good that Steinman is obviously working on something and I hope it's a project that will actually see the light of day.

I like Kasim. And I like the idea that he has been working on something with Jim. I can't imagine it's connected with the Bat musical, because I don't think that's really a secret. Like others said, I do hope we get to hear it (and soon).

Pudding · 03 Feb 2011, 20:08

I'd like to hear Roy Bittan is working with Jim, some of Jims most epic songs are with him at the piano.

LucyK! · 03 Feb 2011, 20:35

I cannot imagine any musician I would be more pleased to see working on this than Roy Bittan

(I'll leave it at that because if I start on how immense Roy is I'll still be sitting here when the musical comes out!)

**The Flying Mouse** · 03 Feb 2011, 20:53

It would be nice to see Max Weinberg's name pop up

LucyK! · 03 Feb 2011, 20:54

Roy AND Max...I would combust!

I think it probably is. Kasim has said elsewhere that he's working on "projects" with Jim:

My guess is that it will be the musical and a CD timed to come out around the same time.

One thing that does kind of surprise me is that Meat and Jim both seem to work within the same small circle of musicians. So Kasim is working with Jim and Mark Alexander has been asked to work on the musical. Its interesting that after all the musicians that Jim has worked with, he has gone back to the beginning with Kasim.

its strange to be honest, but then the more i think about it and what has happened it tends to make sense

daveake · 06 Feb 2011, 20:23

Not strange at all. He prefers to work with people he's familiar with.
