Search - Hardin & York :: Tomorrow Today

In the late '60s a duo developed their act from the embers of the Spencer Davis Group, where they'd had their own spot during the middle of shows. Multi-keyboardist Eddie Hardin had gelled with Jazz drummer turned R&B for the sake of the SDG, Pete York to form the world's smallest big band. Like contemporaries Colosseum, Hardin & York's jazz inflected prog met with huge critical and commercial favor in Europe, especially Germany where they regularly sold out 15,000 seat venues. Their debut LP Tomorrow Today was so 'out there' its front cover design won prestigious art awards in New York. The cover artist obviously so pleased with himself he omitted to put the music artists name on the front! Reviewers called it a cross between Procol Harum and Traffic, to which we would add The Nice. Released on the decidedly un-prog Bell label it did nothing in the UK, but did chart in Europe. RPM. 2005.
