Percussionist Morris Pert came out of the jazz-rock fusion era of the '70s to play music with many big-name artists and produce projects that display his wide range of interests beyond instrumental contemporary jazz. Born in 1947 and growing up in Arbroath, Scotland, he pursued a professional career by studying at Edinburgh University, graduating in 1969, and on a scholarship learned advanced composition and percussion at the Royal Academy in London
Pert is best known for his work with the pioneering group Brand X. He has also worked extensively over two decades in the recording studios with notables Paul McCartney & Wings, the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Elvis Costello, Alexis Korner, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Yvonne Elliman, Kate Bush, Mike and Sally Oldfield, Peter Gabriel, Bryan Ferry, Caravan, John Martyn, Jack Lancaster and Robin Lumley, and Phil Collins. Among Pert's awards are five gold albums, an American ASCAP award, and a nomination by the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences for his recorded performances
