COLOSSEUM - The Grass Is Greener (1970) [Remastered 2011]

The second album from this British jazz-rock quintet rocks harder than their first outing. Their take on Jack Bruce's "Rope Ladder to the Moon" is especially strong, and "Jumping off the Sun" has a similar feel. "Bolero" has been done to death, but guitarist Dave Clempson (who later replaced Peter Frampton in Humble Pie) uses it to launch a showcase of guitar fireworks. In fact, Clempson's blazing guitar licks shine throughout. Dick Heckstall-Smith once again impresses on his arsenal of saxophones and woodwinds, and the seven-and-a-half minute title cut which he co-wrote with drummer Jon Hiseman is a highlight of this disc.

Digitally remastered edition of this 1970 album from one of the pivotal Progressive bands that emerged in the second part of the '60s. One of the most influential of the early British Prog Rock bands, Colosseum fused an adventurous approach to Rock with strong Jazz and Blues influences and classical keyboard accents. In contrast to other albums by Colosseum, The Grass Is Greener was released only in the United States. It includes a few songs that were on the earlier release, Valentyne Suite, as well as several cuts only released on this album. Talking Elephant. - cduniverse.com
