He and Pierre Moerlen did some great work with Mike Oldfield - now they´re both gone. Two fantastic percussionists who will be missed.

He made Peter Gabriel's third album extra special.

Mr.Pert was a awesome percussionist;and a hell of a very funny gifted human being...
This Los Angeles guitarist had the pleasure to hang and laugh with him(and Mr.Collins) and the Brand X crew backstage a few nights as they sold out 3 nights performing at The Roxy in Hollywood,southern California.
God protect your soul Mr.Pert forever!

he played with the Mike Oldfield band for a while. I have a video from 1980 that I think he is in. Sad

He was my grandmother's cousin's son. Therefore, one set of my great-great-grandparents were Morris Pert's great-grandparents.
As for the music, I've heard some of the albums of Brand X and Peter Gabriel that he played on.

This is sad to hear. All his great work with Stomu Yamashta and Brand X ! One of my favorites.

This guy played on some of the albums by prog and prog-related artists.

He was a distant relative of mine, although I never actually met him.

I am sorry to hear of this just now-i had only been familiar with one of his recordings-the first Sun Treader album from 1973 entitled Zin-Zin with the great J. Peter Robinson. This album, though only a bit of his work, has always been very special to me, almost in a class of its own.
Co-incidentally, just today i bought a copy of Brand X's Morrocan Roll.
May his music live on.

sad news indeed. R.I.P., Morris.
and, since no-one mentioned it yet: the best album he appeared on, in my opinion, is "Xitintoday", a solo album of Hawkwind's sax and flute player Nik Turner, which also has half of Gong (Steve Hillage, Tim Blake, Mike Howlett, Miquette Giraudy) on it

First Bo now Morris not a good week.
I was listening to Oldfield last week and Pert was a part of that lineup,but then he was involved with a lot of projects over the years.
RIP Morris.

He was splendid on Livestock - especially Isis Mourning parts 1 and 2. Thanks for posting the info, Hugues - I hadn't realised just how many different projects he'd been invovled in over the years. |
Hey, I had even forgotten that we could also find his works on PA with Stomu Yamashta in the Red Buddha Theater project as well.

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
