Jon Hiseman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phillip John 'Jon' Hiseman (born June 21, 1944 in Blackheath, London) is an English drummer. In the mid 1960s he also played in sessions such as an early Arthur Brown single. Jon Hiseman replaced Ginger Baker in Graham Bond Organisation and he also was in the seminal UK unit Colosseum. Later after Colosseum split, he reformed Colosseum II featuring Don Airey and Gary Moore.

In between the two versions of Colosseum, Hiseman formed the band Tempest with Allan Holdsworth, Paul Williams and Colosseum bandmate Mark Clarke.

He has subsequently played in jazz groups, notably with his wife saxophonist Barbara Thompson, as well as continuing to play in sessions for Andrew Lloyd-Webber musicals and recording TV soundtracks. He is a founding member of the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble, the "Band of Band Leaders".
