Look up Gavin Harrison over Wikipedia
Quite the studio musician that has played with all kinds of artists..literally! Then again a lot of the musicians we know from prog and fusion bands probably makes a living playing alongside big pop stars, when they aren’t involved in a feisty solo in front of a bearded crowd of 50 |

Don Airey played on Never Say Die , perhaps not so strange as tends to me more associated with metal than prog although he can play as well as any prog keyboard player!

IF PA JRF counts, the weirdest in my collection is probably Space Jazz: The soundtrack of the book Battlefield Earth which features Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke. It's not strange that those Scientologists would appear on such an album, Return to Forever having Scientology themes (including in the same itself), but I find Scientology to be very strange and I do find the album itself strange.
Chick Corea was also involved with L. Ron Hubbard's The Road to Freedom album, and the, I'd say, Prog related artist Edgar Winter produced, arranged and performed on Hubbard's Mission Earth (released after LRH's death following details written out by LRH for the album). To the Stars is another Scientology album from the Chick Corea Elektric Band. Edited by Logan - August 28 2019 at 11:54 |

^ I'm pretty sure Stanley is an ex-scientologist, not sure about Chick, but at least he does not mention it much anymore. Scientology is bad, very bad.

I've read before that Stanley Clarke left Scientology in the 80s, and was going to say that I'm fairly confident that he remains an ex-Scientologist, but I looked it up and now I'm not so sure. https://tonyortega.org/2018/08/16/stanley-clarke-turns-out-to-be-as-deep-into-scientology-as-we-feared-all-these-years-later/ I think Corea is still a Scientologist, but maybe not so involved now. In the late 90s he was still very involved.
And yes, Scientology is very bad (I got very into researching that org at one time). A while ago I went to a night market and they offered auditing there. That said, this Scientology produced video is very entertaining in a creepy as f*** way: Getting more off-topic, but the Dan Jones soundtrack for Louis Theroux's My Scientology Movie is a modern, if rather retro, fave of mine.

So who was worse L. Ron Hubbard or Ayn Rand? At least Ayn Rand influenced Rush.

Merv Pepler and Joie Hinton. Abduction was the best one. But none of it's aged well, unless you're really into that stuff.

How disappointing.
Corea certainly is. Other notable rock/prog/jazz musicians who are members of the CoS are Billy Sheehan and John Novello of Niacin, Mark Isham, Steve Miller and Edgar Winter.

Hi,
I was thinking that Mel Collins might have a hard time remembering how many groups he has played with and how many albums!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
