The Essential Greaves Album - very close to 5 stars! John Greaves has produced solo albums since the late 1970s, although often sporadically. But with at least 16 solo albums, he has by now a long discography.

John Greaves. British (Welsh) bassist, pianist, singer and composer, born February 23, 1950 in Prestatyn, Wales, UK. Played double-bass and bass guitar in school band for two years and was with "the Ray Irving Showband" from 1964 to 1968. Found little musical stimulation at Cambridge until meeting Henry Cow in the autumn of 1969.

In 1977 he reunited with Henry Cow bass player John Greaves to collaborate on the album Kew.
