Has to be Dave Greenfield. A genius, check out Down in the Sewer or Genetix for some of his work. Also from Brighton

Yep this the answer. His tinkling on ‘watching the detectives’ sends shivers down your spine (visible ones)

Steve Nieve

Ron Mael, now in his 70’s, is still amazing.

Saw them in Bristol on the same tour - as good as they ever were. The 2017 album they were promoting, Hippopotamus, is up there with Kimono my House and Propaganda from the '70s (there isn't a weak track on it), and their mid-1990s 'comeback' album, Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins is also a classic.

Absolute geniuses, musically and lyrically. Yet like a lot of people who first saw them on Top of the Pops performing 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Us', I thought they were a one-hit-wonder novelty band!

Most have been listed already . . .

Jackie Mittoo
Booker T
Wynder K Frog !
Steve Winwood
Brian Auger
Earl Van Dyke
Dave Brubeck
Jimmy Smith, saw him at the Concorde in '94. Pretty bloody good

Dudley Moore could tickle the ivories reasonably well too.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Interesting thread. As tricky to fathom as 'best guitarist'

Honourable mentions for:

Ryuichi Sakamoto (especially work with David Sylvian)
Ivor Cutler (spooky harmonium)
Jan Hammer (Mahavishnu Orchestra rather than film scores)
Dave Sinclair (Caravan)

 

[Is it PotG?]

Sir Les Dawson
Hania Rani

 

[bobbysmith01]

Keith Emerson and John Paul Jones is a bit good on the keys.

Echoing the previous mentions of Dave Greenfield (The Stranglers) and Ron Mael (Sparks).

Also: Ray Manzarek (The Doors) and Jon Lord (Deep Purple).

I never got anywhere near prog/psych but titfer duly doffed for Dave Sinclair. Up there with the best . . . The first three caravan albums are criminally under rated.

I might alSo mention Dave Michaels from H P Lovecraft.
