R I P .. JON HISEMAN

Lincsaddick

Born in Woolwich in 1944, died from cancer 12/6/18

A versatile drummer/musician maligned or admired depending on ones' point of view for his jazz/rock syntheses .. I regularly saw him play with various bands and groups including the neglected, innovative 'Colosseum'.
His gigs and him personally were always good value. He was a very good drummer with a hammer or butterfly touch depending on what the music required.

He was much admired by Andrew Lloyd Webber and became his drummer of choice, proof of Hiseman's love of all kinds of music and of his versatility

Never a superstar but always admired and respected by the discerning few .. rest in peace Jon

I'm sure he was in a band called Tempest with Ollie Halsall.

Saw Tempest at Kent university in about '73 I think. I think they were called Jon Hiseman's Tempest.
And my sister saw Colloseum at the first ever Glastonbury, and remembers a long drum solo.
