Don't forget also 'First of the Big Bands' by Tony Ashton & Jon Lord (1974) - my research today into PAL's 'Malice in Wonderland' (1977) jogged my memory about this.

I must investigate 'Malice in Wonderland' - somehow that album has always passed me by.

Glad a poster mentioned Paice Ashton Lord - it was a one off that seemed like they'd been around forever.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

^ Al Jolson wasn't really black either, although I only discovered that recently. Embarrassed

Anyway, I'll spare you the Black and White Minstrels show. Tongue

I enjoyed that. I used to like 'Hot Gossip'.

 I always preferred Pan's People/Legs & Co though! LOL

Sky and Vanessa-Mae are in my Classical  Crossover collection too, although they're both outnumbered by Sarah Brightman CD's. Smile


Yep I have her albums 'Harem' and 'Symphony' in my classical crossover section too.

In my digital music collection I actually file Jon Lord's solo career under 'Classical Crossover'.

I haven't yet managed to acquire any Jon Lord CD's, but he's filed under Symphonic Prog in my Prog Britannia blog. Smile

Classical Crossover sounds just as applicable though. Thumbs Up

I'm a massive fan of his early solo work, particularly 'Gemini Suite' and 'Sarabande'.

Doing it all for charidee:- - Five legendary names In Rock - Jon Lord, Ian Gillan, Brian May, Tony iommi & Nick McBrain - get together in the studio to raise money for the victims of the 1998 Armenian earthquake. Who Cares?

It's interesting that Jon Lord participated in a live performance of David Bedford's The Odyssey. Jon Lord on synthesizer along with Mike Ratledge, Dave Lawson, Mike Oldfield and several others performing the music of The Odyssey at the Royal Albert Hall in 1977.

I have this on cd .The tape has a few drop outs however its a very good listen. This was a special event...but if you are not a fan of David Bedford it may seem irrelevant and boring. I think it's a timeless performance and it's interesting how Jon Lord invested time into the project...
