Jan Schelhaas was born on this day in 1948, in Liverpool, England. He is a pianist / keyboardist / composer / singer.
He recorded and toured with Caravan (a band I’ve never really got into for some reason) and then was asked to tour with Camel for Breathless after which he contributed to Nude and I Can See Your House From Here with writing and playing credits on both - “Captured” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNv7xnwFoq8 and “Hymn to Her” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j61SKoubqXc - from each of the aforementioned, respectively. He later returned to Caravan and has been with them on and off – I think he’s on at the moment – he’s on when Dave Sinclair is off, lol! He has also recorded three solo albums, none of which I have heard .... yet ... have to be brief - load shedding is about to start ...
His keys on my favourite track from Nude – “Drafted” …
