he was the keyboard player in deep purple, but he composed this amazing piece for a rock/metal group and a symphony orchestra. deep purple played it on one tour and then the score was lost, and a dutch music student wrote it all out by listening to a recording of the concert over and over and over...
then this little aussie band, george, got picked as the new torch bearers for the piece, and it was phenomenal.
but anyways, to my point - you might get a lot of deep purple stuff if you search for him, which isn't a bad thing, but won't be quite the experience i had
