Bio

The Nice est un groupe britannique de rock, originaire de Londres. Il est formé en 1967 par le claviériste Keith Emerson, d'abord pour accompagner la chanteuse américaine P. P. Arnold qui vit désormais en Angleterre, mais il se détache d'elle très vite pour devenir indépendant. Le groupe est connu pour son mélange de rock psychédélique, de jazz et de musique classique qui annoncent le rock progressif.

The Nice were an English progressive rock band active in the late 1960s. They blended rock, jazz and classical music.

Keyboardist Keith Emerson, bassist Lee Jackson, guitarist David O'List, and drummer Ian Hague originally formed in 1967 to be the backing band of soul singer P. P. Arnold. After replacing Hague with Brian Davison, the group set out on their own and quickly developed a strong live following. The group's stage performances featured Emerson's Hammond organ showmanship and abuse of the instrument. Their compositions included radical rearrangements of classical music themes and Bob Dylan songs.

The band achieved commercial success with an instrumental rearrangement of Leonard Bernstein's "America", following which O'List left the group. The remaining members carried on as a trio, releasing several albums, before Emerson left the band in early 1970 in order to form Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The group briefly re-formed in 2002 for a series of concerts.
