Don Shinn – Don Shinn Takes A Trip 1969 (UK, Progressive Rock)
Donald Shinn is an English keyboardist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and vocalist (born December 15, 1945, in Southampton, Hampshire). He is best known as an organist, pianist, and vibraphonist. In the early to mid-1960s, he played with the bands The Meddy Evils, The Echoes, and The Soul Agents (featuring a young Rod Stewart). In 1967, he formed his own band, The Shinn, which included future Uriah Heep bassist Paul Newton, future The Nice drummer Brian "Blinky" Davison, and vocalist Eddie Lamb. In 1969, he released two instrumental albums – Departures and Temples With Prophets (aka Don Shinn Takes A Trip). Shinn was a member of the English band Dada (featuring Elkie Brooks) and appeared on the 1970 album of the same name. He also worked with Kiki Dee, James Taylor, Engelbert Humperdinck, Stan Tracey, Persian vocalist Parvaneh Farid, and the bands Iguana and Renaissance. Shinn is considered one of the pioneers of the progressive rock movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. World-renowned keyboardist Keith Emerson considers Shinn his mentor, and Paul Newton also credits him with being a mentor. As of January 2012, Donald Shinn was musically active in the area around his native Southampton, although there is no confirmation of this...
