John Greaves / Peter Blegvad / Lisa Herman - Kew. Rhone. mp3 album

This page includes John Greaves, Peter Blegvad & Lisa Herman: Kew. Rhone. Ke. hone is an often overlooked masterpiece from the 1970s, a multilayered concept album that combines the complexity of RIO with the melodic sensibilities of the best Canterbury bands and which features perhaps the most erudite lyrics in the history of progressive rock. John Greaves (music) and Peter Blegvad (lyrics) began their creative partnership when Henry Cow and Slapp Happy joined forces for Desperate Straits - their song 'Bad Alchemy' was one of that album's highlights, and they have continued to write and perform together on an occasional basis ever since.

John Greaves wrote this all the music, Peter Blegvad was responsible for the lyrics, but took not the vocals. For the duo took mainly in person from LISA HERMAN gain. HERMAN is supported by APRIL LONG, Carla Bley and DANA JOHNSON. Musically, the concept album between jazz-rock, avant-garde and fusion is to settle Jazz. High quality, but far from easy to digest for the listener. It is and remains a masterpiece, which has been completely laid to right again.

Kennedy and the threat posed by the Vietnam draft to Peter and his younger brother Kristoffer. Blegvad was educated at St Christopher School, Letchworth, a boarding school where he met his musical collaborator Anthony Moore. In 1977 he reunited with Henry Cow bass player John Greaves to collaborate on the album Kew. an unusual cross-genre release combining elements of minimalism, avant-garde jazz and progressive rock.
