About The Nice
The Nice was a late 60s English rock group, known for being among the first in the genre to play in a progressive and symphonic style, with strong influence from Western classical music. While they did not last more than three years, they were a major influence in bridging the gap between the psychedelic rock of the 60s and the progressive rock of the 70s. Led by keyboard virtuoso Keith Emerson (later of Emerson, Lake & Palmer), they were one of the first rock groups to play with an orchestra. The band were infamous for being banned from playing the Royal Albert Hall in 1968 when Emerson set fire to an American flag when playing the song America, originally by Sondheim and Bernstein and Antonín Dvořák. Initially, the band featured a guitarist in the shape of Davey O'List. After The Nice dissolved, bassist/vocalist Lee Jackson and drummer Brian Davison formed Refugee with Patrick Moraz on keyboards (later of Yes). In 2003 The Nice reformed and toured with Keith Emerson's solo band. Brian Davison passed away on 15th April 2008. and Keith Emerson committed suicide on March 10th, 2016.
