Dick Heckstall-Smith - A Story Ended (Vinyl)

Description

Dick Heckstall-Smith (1934-2004) was an incredible musician (tenor and soprano saxes, often at the same time) and he invited lots of fellow incredibles to create this-his first solo album after the breakup of his former group Colosseum, a six piece jazz rock ensemble. Several former bandmates do indeed appear on this reording: drummer Jon Hiseman, bassist/vocalist Mark Clarke, keyboardist Dave Greenslade, and vocalist Chris Farlowe. As well as the unique Paul Williams (Tempest, IOU) and guitarist Chris Spedding. Adding to this notable entourage is the lyricist Peter Brown.
