Refugee (band)

Refugee (band)

Refugee was a progressive rock group formed by former The Nice members, bassist Lee Jackson and drummer Brian Davison, with keyboardist Patrick Moraz.

After The Nice, Jackson had formed Jackson Heights, with Davison later becoming involved in the project too. Jackson then invited Moraz to form a new trio, Refugee, with him and Davison [http://www.progrockradio.com/playclip.php?wmp=yes&filename=MorazPart1-02-18-2007.mp3&title=PATRICK%20MORAZ%20INTERVIEW%20-%20PART%201] and following the same keys/bass/drums format as The Nice had.

Refugee released one album on Charisma Records. The music was composed by Moraz with lyrics from Jackson. An archival live album recorded that year is due in 2007. Without a deal for a second album and with tensions in the band, Moraz accepted an offer to join Yes in 1974 and, after a final few shows, the band split up.

Davison went on to work with Gong. Both Davison and Jackson would later retire from music, until the Keith Emerson/The Nice reunion shows in the 2000s.
