        In 1972, Tandy served as the bassist in the first live line-up of  Electric Light Orchestra  (originally a side project of The Move), before becoming the band's full-time keyboardist. He has collaborated musically with ELO frontman Jeff Lynn  on many projects, among them songs for the Electric Dreams  soundtrack, Lynne's solo album Armchair Theatre  and Lynne-produced Dave Edmunds  album Information .       Tandy's keyboards would be an integral part of ELO's sound, and included piano , Minimoog , Clavinet , Wurlitzer electric piano, Yamaha   CS-80 , ARP 2600 , and harmonium . He was also proficient on guitar. On some albums he is also credited with vocals or backing vocals, without any specification of which songs. Tandy was Jeff Lynne's right-hand man in the studio and co-arranged the strings with Lynne and Louis Clark  from Eldorado  onwards. ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA ELO's Greatest Hits Jet/CBS,19...

        A pianist from age four, Jack DeJohnette didn't take up the drums until 18. That relatively late start didn't hold him back: an early stint with Chicago avant-garde institution the Association for Advancement of Creative Musicians led to live work with John Coltrane, a position in Charles Lloyd's chart-topping quartet and eventually a gig with Miles Davis, as the trumpeter was gearing up for the 1970 fusion landmark  Bitches Brew . "It was great to play with Miles, because Miles loved the drums," DeJohnette explained to  Jazz.com  in 2009. "Everything came from the drums. He liked boxing, he was a big boxing fan, and he saw drums in jazz as having similar aspects." As a bandleader and composer, DeJohnette fuses all that he'd learned — A.A.C.M.-honed experimentation, Coltrane's integrity, Davis's pugilistic groove — with his own innate knack for turning a memorable tune.

        In 1976, Haslip made the move to Los Angeles and within a few years, racked up recording credits with Gino Vannelli, Rod Stewart, Blackjack, Tom Scott, and many others. By the late 1970s, Haslip met Robben Ford and, in addition to working on Ford’s solo project, decided to form the Yellowjackets alongside Russell Ferrante (keyboards) and Ricky Lawson (drums). The Yellowjackets’ debut album in 1981 set the stage for what would become a career-long endeavor resulting in creative interplay, international success, and multiple Grammy nominations and awards. While the lineup changed from time to time, Haslip remained with the Yellowjackets until 2012.       In the meantime, Haslip became a sought-after session musician and side person thanks to his versatile nature and the use of fretless and five or six-string basses. His playing can be heard on records by Bruce Hornsby, Bobby McFerrin, Marylin Scott, Michael Franks, Anita Baker, Jeff Lorber, Allan...

        In late 1966, Peter Green had the job of replacing Eric Clapton  in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Mayall told his producer, "He might not be better [than Clapton] now. But you wait… he's going to be the best." Soon, with the original Fleetwood Mac , he was Britain's most progressive blues guitarist, with a Chicago-informed aggression heightened by the melodic adventure on albums like 1969's Then Play On . Green soon entered a dark age of mental and health problems, returning in the Nineties with more subdued but recognizable gifts.
