Ian Anderson played a guest spot on Mary Youngblood's album Feed the Fire. Fripp backed up Howe on a version of Sleep Walk from Quantum Guitar. Howe did a guest appearance on the title track of Queen's Innuendo, but I suppose that is common knowledge. Ollie Halsall was one of the Rutles. |

Curiously enough, when going to Discogs to track down the album (based off of your original post), I found another jazz (or jazzy) album with 3 Yes members (Howe, White and Anderson) from around the same time by Johnny Harris. Although it doesn't sound too far out of their comfort zone. |

I was pleasantly suprised to hear Ian Anderson play flute on Honeymoon Suite-song.
Also the keyboardist (Ray Coburn) of Honeymoon Suite was touring musician of popprogband Saga during the late 80's. David Sancious (a fusion-keboardist/guitarist, not really prog) played with Bruce Springsteen and Sting. Sting had a lot of fusion-musicians in his band. Fusion-musicians tend to crossover much easier than progrock-musicians. A lot of fusion-musicians did hip-hop, acid-jazz, jazzfunk, metal, etc. Also Phil Collins (of Genesis-fame) played drums on Woman in Chains of Tears for Fears. Another fun-crossover is the Ozric Tentacles playing a significant role in the completion of https://www.discogs.com/Senser-Stacked-Up/master/21425 (rapthrashacidjazzpsychrock)

^ Speaking of Ozric Tentacles, a couple band members split off to do the trance/techno group Eat Static.

^ And don't forget ZubZub (more drum&bass, but also very techno-inspired).
Ozrics were closely related to a lot of psybient and psytrance bands like Ott, Entheogenic, Sphongle, etc. Very great stuff, maybe some of those bands could be included as progressive electronic. The link of progrock and electronic is more obvious than people realize. The members of Hidria Spacefolk contributed to electronic albums. In Finland the different scenes are more interwoven.

True, and Fripp was part of that world via The Orb and FFWD, plus some other artists too.

I think Fripp may have been romantically involved briefly with one of the sisters which is why he worked with them
True, but in this case it's almost difficult to know which one is contributing more to the weird factor. Shatner is weird. We already know that. very true!! Seems Sherwood will appear anywhere

I almost forgot to mention the "The Deep End"-sessions by Gov't Mule.
Because of the death of founded bassist Allen Woody, they invited a multitude of bassplayers (and other guests) to play on 2 full lenght albums and a double live cd/dvd. Some progsters that appeared on these albums were: Chris Squire (Yes) Roger Glover (Deep Purple) Dave Schools (Widespread Panic) Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report) Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel etc.) and a lot lot more (mostly jazz, funk, blues, jamband)

I knew he had produced them. According to Wiki they were founded by OMD members Stuart Kershaw and Andy McCluskey and their big hit was co written by all 3 plus a guy called Bill Padley. They were all nominated for the Ivor Novello award for excellence in song writing!

Did you also know that Jem worked with Gary Barlow on several songs including those for a Broadway musical? Wiki is a mine of interesting information!

Subtly weird, but David Gilmour played on the McCartney albums Give My Regards to Broad Street, Flowers in the Dirt, and Run Devil Run. He also appeared in McCartney's 1999 concert film shot at the Cavern Club along side Ian Paice.

MacGyver can do a super guitar solo with a broom and an elastic band. Can you do better?
