Though Colosseum lasted only a little more than three years, producing five albums, they made a great impression on the blooming sub-genre of progressive rock. They broke onto the scene with the energetic jazz & blues-influenced Those Who Are About To Die Salute You, with its unusual chord progressions and variant song structures, and then followed up with the epic Valentyne Suite. The title track of Valentyne Suite, a 17-minute composition, pushed keyboardist Dave Greenslade into the spotlight of progressive music. Drummer Jon Hiseman, on the other hand, gradually moved towards the jazz-fusion area.
Now, six years after Colosseum II's Bread & Circuses, Jon Hiseman and his crew return to the arena. Their new album, Tomorrow's Blues, has everything needed to excite Colosseum fans: Jon Hiseman's refined hands-on drum work; the unique, rough blues voice of front man Chris Farlowe; Clem Clempson's fat guitar sound; Dave Greenslade's defining organ lines; Dick Heckstall-Smith's sparkling saxophone and, last but not least, Mark Clarke's subtle bass foundations.
Tomorrow's Blues proves once again that Colosseum still have a great deal to give, and not only to connoisseurs of the antique arts! (Amazon)
This is a fantastic CD which features a group of very talented musicians. It is a blues-rock CD with heavy emphasis on the chops of all of the members of the band which features Dave Greenslade and Dick Hexstall-Smith. Not a weak cut can be found on this recording. If you like great blues-rock and phenomenal musicianship buy this CD without hesitation. (Amazon customer)
