Bio / info
Colosseum is a pioneering British progressive jazz-rock band, mixing progressive rock and jazz-based improvisation. After the band split up in 1971, drummer Jon Hiseman formed Tempest with bassist Mark Clarke; Dave Greenslade formed Greenslade together with Tony Reeves. Chris Farlowe joined Atomic Rooster; and Dick Heckstall-Smith embarked on a solo career. Hiseman formed the group Colosseum II in 1975, with a stronger orientation towards jazz-fusion rock. In 1994, Colosseum reformed, and reconvened every few years thereafter for tours, until 2015, when Hiseman announced that they would call it quits, leaving a legacy of innovative progressive jazz rock that stands the test of time.
