KEITH EMERSON AND MARC BONILLA WITH BRUCE LOFGREN'S JAZZ ORCHESTRA
- APRIL 6, 2009

"Amongst my early musical influences were the blues. There was a lot of it about in Worthing, Sussex where I grew up in a place, otherwise referred to as Costa Geriatrica. People were dying to get there and they often did before it was time to leave of their own accord. Geographically it was considered the dead center of Sussex. I was quick to note this as on early performances at local clubs bouncers were throwing people in.....even the dead ones because they were the easiest to throw out amongst the seaweed that quickly built up on the beaches. Prog rock and film music offered more chords to me in California and finally the bouncers chucked me in. And then along came Bruce Lofgren and his After Burners to fire me up here in California.  - Keith"
