I kind of wrote everything I knew about Colosseum in my last post about them, so to make up for the lack of new reading material here’s the 17 minute long title track to their 1969 record, Valentyne Suite.
Colosseum was a progressive rock band from Britain with a serious jazz bent. The band only managed to stay together until 1971, but somehow put out 4 albums before parting ways and creating or joining a bunch of legendary prog rock bands: Atomic Rooster, Greenslade, and Humble Pie.
If you’ve got the time, this song is a beautiful, jazzy progressive rock journey.
