My mind is - quite literally - boggling at the thought as to just what kind of music this individual

http://www.drjazz.ch/album/bilder/Moraz30.jpg

could conjure forth. And a fantastic name, "Patrick Moraz".

Progressiveopolous

Patrick Moraz, as everyone knows, replaced Rick Wakeman on the keyboards stoll in Yes in 1975 and played on the album "Relayer" (only three tracks on it.....42 minutes).

I think he then went and played in pseudo ELP three piece band called "UK around 78..............

They auditioned Vangelis for the post but found him to be too "overwhelming"

Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Alan Holdsworth, Eddie Jobson

Bill Bruford
Alan Holdsworth
Eddie Jobson
Terry Bozzio
John Wetton

UK, UK. The First UK album featured Eddie Jobson, Alan Holdsworth and fresh out of King Crimson John Wetton and Bill Bruford. Probably on of the most over looked greats of progressive rock. A Collection of brilliant songs with instrumental sections like those on Brufords ONE OF A KIND and a Yes/Crimson Flavor. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Danger Money was a shock. Suddenly no Bruford or Holdsworth. I got a chance to ask Alan Holdsworth backstage one night why he and Bruford left the band. He Stated that they were fired "by the producers". I guess they wanted a pop album. Either way, this is still a good effort and Terry Bozzio is a great Drummer.

Night After Night is a decent live album with new tracks. Some of the tracks from Danger Money are better performed live, like Nothing to lose.

Eddie Jobson Has done two solo projects, THEME OF SECRETS, and ZINC THE GREEN ALBUM. Both are out of print. He also played with YES and was in the music video for owner of a lonely heart though he never recorded on a yes album. He also soundtracked the show Nash Bridges.

Patrick Moraz formed a 3-piece called ' Refugee ', with Lee Jackson and Brian Davidson ( both formerly of, and now reunited in, ' the Nice ' who I saw on tour last year).

I'll also add that after UK split ( with Wetton going on to do a solo Album ' Caught in the Crossfire ' and then joining ' Asia ' ) Eddie Jobson played on the Jethro Tull Album, ' A '. The similarities between ' A ' and ' UK ' are striking.
