Keith Emerson - Keith Emerson Keith Emerson (November 2, 1944 - ) British keyboard player and composer. Formerly a member of The Nice, a group who produced genuinely inspired music, he went on to start Emerson Lake and Palmer, one of the first supergroupss, whose music often included musical bits by Bach, Janacek, Bartok, Ginastera, Copland, Mussorgsky and other classical composers. He has also composed film soundtrack music..
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson, Lake & Palmer Emerson Lake & Palmer (ELP) were a British progressive rock group. In the 1970s, they were extremely popular, selling over 30 million albums and headlining huge concerts. The three members are: Keith Emerson (keyboards) born 2nd of November 1944 Greg Lake (guitar, bass guitar, vocals) born 10th of November 1947 Carl Palmer (drums, percussion) born 20th of March 1950 They were an early 'supergroup', with Emerson coming from The Nice, Lake from King Crimson and Palmer from Atomic Rooster. They formed in 1970 and broke up in 1979. The first four ELP years were an extremely creative period during which the band performed with tremendous power and energy. They self-produced their first six albums, starting with the highly acclaimed Emerson, Lake and.
Jethro Tull (band) - to a folkier sound - albeit with synthesizers - for 1982's The Broadsword and the Beast. 1981 marked the first year in their album career that the band did not release an album. In 1984 Tull released Under Wraps, a heavily electronic album. Although the band was reportedly proud of the sound, the album was not well-received, and as a result of either that or Anderson's reported vocal problems (or both), Tull went on a three-year hiatus. The Modern Era Tull returned stronger than anyone might have expected with 1987's Crest of a Knave. Absent Vettese (Anderson contributed the synth programming) and relying more heavily on Barre's electric guitar than the band had since early 70s, the album was a critical and commercial success, and even won the 1988 Grammy Award.
Hammond organ - Hammond sound with electronics is difficult, because the phase relationship between tonewheels is difficult to replicate. Speakers made by Leslie were widely used with the Hammond organs, though at first, Leslie was a competing company that Hammond sought to drive out of business. The Leslie speakers had a rotating component that produced a vibrato effect. The model B-3 was, and still is, the most sought-after model, though the C-3 differs only in cosmetics. Hammond organs do not have a full AGO pedalboard, something that was done originally for cost and size reasons. Notable Hammond organ players: Bill Doggett Keith Emerson Ken Hensley Richard "Groove" Holmes Page McConnell (also a famous user of the Leslie) Ethel Smith Jimmy Smith Jon Lord Adam Willby Rick Wakeman Dan Wall Steve Winwood.
Honky tonk - out of tune and having some non functioning keys. Such Honky Tonk music was an important influence on the formation of the Boogie Woogie piano style, as indicatated by Jelly Roll Morton's 1938 record "Honky Tonk Music" (recalling the music of his youth), and Meade "Lux" Lewis's big hit "Honky Tonk Train Blues" which Lewis recorded many times from 1927 into the 1950s and was covered by many other musicians from the 1930s on, including Keith Emerson and Oscar Peterson. The instrumental "Honky Tonk" by the Bill Doggett Combo with a sinuous saxophone line and driving, slow beat, was an early rock and roll hit. In the last third of the 20th century the term Honky Tonk started to sometimes be used to refer to what had previously been known as.
Fairlight CMI - a monochrome green-screen. The later series 3 model dropped the lightpen interface in favour of a graphics tablet interface which was built in to the keyboard. This model was also built around the Motorola 68000 chips, running the OS9 operating system (n.b. not to be confused with Mac OS 9!). One of the Fairlight's most significant software features was the so-called "Page-R", which was a real time graphical pattern sequence editor, widely copied on other software synths since. This feature was often a key part of the buying decision of artistes. The Fairlight CMI was very well built, and consequently very high-priced. A series 1 with all options sold for close to 1 million US dollars, though later models were significantly cheaper as well as more advanced. A Fairlight CMI can.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive - in 1970 by Randy Bachman of The Guess Who with Chad Allan (also of The Guess Who), Robbie Bachman and Fred Turner. An original plan included Keith Emerson of The Nice, though he was dropped due to illness. After two moderately successful Brave Belt albums, Allan was replaced by Tim Bachman, the third of the Bachman brothers, and the band changed its name to Bachman-Turner Overdrive; the band released its first, eponymous album under that name in the Spring of 1973. Their second album with this line-up was Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, and it became a massive hit in the US and their native Canada. It also yielded their best-remembered single, "Takin' Care of Business". Tim Bachman left to become a record producer and was replaced by Blair Thorton and the first.
The Nice - from the 1960s, known for their unique blend of rock, jazz and classical music. Keith Emerson, a keyboardist, formed the group and released their debut, The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack to immediate acclaim; this is often considered the first progressive rock album. A long and wildly popular tour followed, spawning controversy when Emerson burned an American flag onstage during a performance of the band's satirical arrangement of Leonard Bernstein's America, which Emerson described as the first ever instrumental protest song. The pinnacle of the band's artistic success was probably the Five Bridges suite, commissioned for the Newcastle Arts Festival, which was performed with a full orchestra conducted by Joseph Eger. The title refers to the city's five bridges spanning the River Tyne (two more have since been built). By 1969, Emerson.
Cozy Powell - in 1973. In 1976 he joined Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, leaving in 1980 after four albums.

Cozy along with Neil Murray (fellow ex-member of Cozy Powell's Hammer, Whitesnake and Black Sabbath) were members of the Brian May Band, playing on the Back To The Light and Another World albums. They were due to start touring with the band in the Autumn of 1998. Cozy Powell died following a car crash in bad weather on the M4 motorway. Official Cozy Powell website: http://www.cozypowell.com/.

Radio Caroline - some of its vessels. Creation of Radio Caroline North and South Other offshore radio ships soon followed Caroline's example and began broadcasting off the British coast. A few months after commencing broadcasting, Caroline merged with the newly opened competitor station Radio Atlanta, and up until 1968 broadcast from two ships - the original vessel Fredericia, which moved to the "Isle of Man" to become "Radio Caroline North" and the MV Mi Amigo, the ex-Radio Atlanta ship, which remained anchored off the Essex coast and took the name "Radio Caroline South". Together the two ships were able to cover most of the British Isles and the westernmost parts of continental northern Europe. The first programme ever to be heard on Caroline was presented by Simon Dee. Other DJS who went on become.
Pictures at an Exhibition (album) - Pictures at an Exhibition is an album by British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 1972 as a live album and re-released in 2001 as a remastered edition including both live and studio versions of Mussorgsky's classical piece Pictures at an Exhibition. There was also a video made of a different live performance. This had a limited theatrical release in 1973, and a remastered DVD release with Dolby surround sound in 2000. This performance is notable for its technical problems; Keith Emerson's voltage-controlled synthesizer sometimes plays the wrong notes, apparently due to power supply problems.

Music of the United Kingdom (1950s and 60s) - Who, Rolling Stones and Beatles were able to maintain international popularity and critical acclaim through the 60s and beyond, while The Kinks became a long-running band that was popular primarily in the UK. The Kinks' Ray Davies is often considered a quintessential British performer, whose influence defined the next thirty years of British rock-pop. Members of the bands who folded in the face of the pressures of sudden stardom became the root of many of the late 60s' most popular bands. Traffic and Cream arose out of the ashes of other bands, featuring yet more innovative songwriting and experimental elements, as well as cohesive albums of original material. Still others, like Pink Floyd, had little in common with their forebears, but nevertheless emerged as pioneers taking British rock to new heights.
