COLOSSEUM
JOHN HISEMAN, DICK KECKSTALL-SMITH, DAVE GREENSLADE, TONY REEVES, JAMES LITHERLAND
One of the most influential of the early British progressive rock bands, Colosseum fused
an adventurous approach to rock with strong jazz and blues influences and classical keyboard accents;
they earned a loyal and lasting following though they never scored a major breakthrough hit.
Colosseum was founded in 1968 by saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith, bassist Tony Reeves,
and drummer Jon Hiseman; the three had previously worked with John Mayall,
playing on his album Bare Wires, and Heckstall-Smith and Hiseman were formerly members
of the Graham Bond Organisation. The first lineup was completed with the addition of
Dave Greenslade on keyboards, Jim Roche on guitar and vocalist James Litherland,
who took over on guitar when Roche soon departedy

RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Colosseum's debut album is a powerful one, unleashing each member's instrumental prowess
at one point while consolidating each talent to form an explosive outpouring of progressive jazz/rock the next.
Those Who Are About to Die Salute You is coated with the volatile saxophone playing of Dick Heckstall-Smith,
the thunderous keyboard assault of Dave Greenslade, and the bewildering guitar craft of James Litherland.
Together, Colosseum skitters and glides through brisk musical spectrums of freestyle ]jazz
and British blues, sometimes held tightly in place by Greenslade's Hammond organ,
while other times let loose by the brilliancy of the horn and string interplay...(AllMusic)
