John Helliwell Quartet plays Classic Jazz from Stanley Turrentine to Jimmy Smith
John Helliwell is best known as the saxophonist, secondary keyboardist, and backing vocalist of SUPERTRAMP, serving also as an MC during the band's concerts, talking and making jokes to the audience between songs.
He also played on Pink Floyd's album A Momentary Lapse of Reason, French singer Jean-Jacques Goldman's 1985 album Positif, and clarinet on Sara Hickman's 1990 album Shortstop, and currently fronts Super Big Tramp Band.
