Jon Lord (ex Deep purple keyboardplayer) who apart from his Concerto For Group And Orchestra (1969) he gave some really nice albums during late 70's and 80's "Before I forget" "Pictured Within"... I believe he deserves a place over here for his work on clasical/rock, and sometimes spacey work (especially on live albums)

I agree (belatedly). Sarabande is a terrific album that I'm sure many prog aficionados would enjoy. I think it fulfils the criteria of this site by having a symphonic structure and strong instrumentation, beautiful melodies as well. Windows is also very good. ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |

I am only familiar Jon Lord's work with Deep Purple. He has always 'painted' from his organ - even more poignantly than some of the archetypical prog heroes. Early Deep Purple NEEDS to be on Prog Archives. It was very early Deep Purple that first got me going into bands like Genesis and Yes. Mandrake Root Child in Time April the intro to River Deep Mountain High The Shield These tracks are not blues rock, nor are they metal rock, nor is it Top-40. Some residuals of psychedelia maybe.....The only thing really left is Progressive.

Sarabande is the only thing worthy of Lord solo. All of the other solo album are pretentious and failed as is his Concerto for group and orchestra. Jon Lord , whom I have met once , is the archetypal rock musician craving for recognition from Classical music circles. He was rather ridiculous especially in Mindows, about his persistance to achieve it (the recognition). Superb musician, thougfh!!! Ashton . Lord and Paice was correct album , but not a solo one! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
