Colosseum - the kettle
35 jaar geleden: "Valentyne Suite" van Colosseum
Valentyne Suite is het tweede studioalbum van Colosseum. De groep ging daarmee verder op de ingeslagen weg. Ze bouwden hun basis opgedaan in de Graham Bond Organisation verder uit tot een combinatie van psychedelische rock, progressieve rock, blues en jazzrock was het resultaat.

We said the members of Colosseum continued to work on the scene within different idioms and different groups, but I would claim Bandit, the band where James Litherland played, might be one of the most underappreciated of them all. Sure, the associates of that collective achieved several great successes later on, but Bandit should have been more known. Sure, they could be occasionally too 70's rock for some tastes, yet there's something incredibly relaxed about them. Their opus might not be that large, they only did a couple of albums, though what they did showed they could evolve into one of the greats from the period. No surprise that all of them kept finding jobs after the demise of Bandit, they proved their chops there.
The members of Colosseum worked as session musicians later on, though they continued to be present within the idiom of progressive rock. For example, James Litherland, the guitarist of the band, ended up in Mogul Thrash, which played a jazzier version of the genre. You can tell they could evolve into an intriguing collective, yet the problems with their management caused them to fall apart. Thus, their eponymous album could be seen as a document that showed a multitude of way they could have taken, though we cannot say the break-up hurt the associates in the gathering. No, all of them continued with their great qualities, one of them, John Wetton, consequently joined the greatest progressive rock group of them all.
