You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.172.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:35, 2 June 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Philip John Albert''' "'''Jon'''" '''Hiseman''' (21 June 1944 – 12 June 2018) was an English drummer, [[audio engineer|recording engineer]], [[record producer]], and [[Music publisher (popular music)|music publisher]]. He played with the [[Graham Bond]] Organisation, with [[John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers]] and later formed what has been described as the "seminal" [[jazz rock]]/[[progressive rock]] band, [[Colosseum (band)|Colosseum]]. He later formed [[Colosseum II]] in 1975.

He was married to saxophonist [[Barbara Thompson (musician)|Barbara Thompson]] from 1967 until his death in 2018, following surgery to remove a [[brain tumor]].

==Early life==
Hiseman was born in [[Woolwich]], south-east London, to Lily (née Spratt) and Philip Hiseman. His mother worked at the [[Bank of England]] and his father was a lecturer at the [[Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts]].<ref name=Leigh>((Cite web |url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jun/18/jon-hiseman-obituary |last=Leigh |first=Spencer |authorlink=Spencer Leigh (radio presenter) |title=Jon Hiseman obituary |date=18 June 2018 |website=the Guardian |access-date=16 March 2022))</ref> His family included musicians, and his mother played piano and flute.<ref name=Leigh/>

Hiseman studied at the [[Addey and Stanhope School]]. He initially studied violin and piano, but eventually focused on the drums.<ref name=Leigh/> In school, he played in a trio with classmates [[Dave Greenslade]] on piano and [[Tony Reeves]] on double bass.<ref name=Leigh/>

==Career==
In the mid-1960s, Hiseman played in sessions such as the early [[Arthur Brown (musician)|Arthur Brown]] [[single (music)|single]], "Devil's Grip". He was in a band humorously named the "Wes Minster Five", and, with [[Neil Ardley]], helped found the [[New Jazz Orchestra]].<ref name=Leigh/> In 1966, he replaced [[Ginger Baker]] in the [[Graham Bond]] Organisation<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.hit-channel.com/interviewjon-hiseman-colosseumtempestgraham-bondjack-bruce/78725 |title=Interview:Jon Hiseman (Colosseum, Tempest, Graham Bond, Jack Bruce) |website=Hit-channel.com |date=March 2015 |access-date=13 March 2016))</ref> and also played for a brief spell with Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames.<ref name="LarkinGE">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-939-0|page=1155))</ref> In 1964, ''[[Melody Maker]]'' magazine wrote his name as "Jon", and he decided to adopt that spelling.<ref name=Leigh/> He then joined [[John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers]] in 1968 playing on ''[[Bare Wires]]''. In April 1968, he left to form what has been described as the "seminal" [[jazz rock]]/[[progressive rock]] band, [[Colosseum (band)|Colosseum]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.seaoftranquility.org/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=3100 |title=Review: "Colosseum: The Complete Reunion Concert Cologne 1994 (DVD)" |website=SeaOfTranquility.org |date=29 December 2005 |access-date=18 October 2011))</ref> Colosseum disbanded in November 1971,<ref name="NME Rock 'N' Roll Years">((cite book| first= John| last= Tobler| year= 1992| title= NME Rock 'N' Roll Years| edition= 1st| publisher= Reed International Books Ltd| location= London| page= 232| id= CN 5585))</ref> although Hiseman later formed [[Colosseum II]] with [[Don Airey]] and [[Gary Moore]] in 1975.<ref name="LarkinGE"/>

Between these two versions of Colosseum, Hiseman formed the band [[Tempest (UK band)|Tempest]] with [[Allan Holdsworth]], Paul Williams and Colosseum bandmate [[Mark Clarke (musician)|Mark Clarke]].<ref name="LarkinGE"/> [[Ollie Halsall]] joined the band temporarily making the band a quintet but Holdsworth left the group along with Williams, leaving Halsall to handle all guitar and vocal duties. In the mid 1970s, Hiseman played with [[Dave Greenslade]] when he toured the album ''[[Cactus Choir]]''. Hiseman subsequently played in [[jazz]] groups, notably with his wife, [[saxophone|saxophonist]] [[Barbara Thompson (musician)|Barbara Thompson]],<ref name="LarkinGE"/> with whom he recorded and produced more than 15 albums.  [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]], searching for a "sound" for an album to feature his brother [[Julian Lloyd Webber|Julian]] on [[cello]], stumbled upon Colosseum II by accident and imported the whole band into his "Variations" project. This was the start of a ten-year relationship with Hiseman, whose drumming features on recordings, TV specials and [[musical theatre|musicals]].

In 1982 Hiseman built what was at the time a state-of-the-art [[recording studio]] next to his home, and together with the compositional skills of Barbara Thompson produced many recordings for film and television [[soundtrack]]s.<ref name="LarkinGE"/> Hiseman was a founding member of the [[United Jazz and Rock Ensemble]], a German-based "Band of Band Leaders", along with Barbara Thompson.<ref name="LarkinGE"/>

Colosseum reunited in June 1994 with the same line-up of musicians as when they broke up 23 years earlier. They played the Freiburg Zelt Musik Festival and followed it up with a German TV Special ([[WDR Cologne]]) in October, which was recorded and released as a CD and a VHS video; a DVD version followed in 2003. Several new studio releases also followed, as well as four expanded editions of ''Valentyne Suite'' and ''Colosseum Live'', plus several compilation boxed sets. Barbara Thompson joined the band on various occasions before the death of [[Dick Heckstall-Smith]] in 2004 and since then was a permanent member of the band. Colosseum played its farewell concert on 28 February 2015.

[[File:JonHisemann2010.jpg|thumb|Hiseman in 2010]]
In October 2010 a biography of Hiseman, titled ''Playing the Band'', was published. It was written by Martyn Hanson and edited by original Colosseum manager, Colin Richardson.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.thejazzmann.com/features/article/book-review-playing-the-band-the-musical-life-of-jon-hiseman-by-martyn-hans/ |title=Book Review; Playing The Band-The Musical Life of Jon Hiseman by Martyn Hanson |publisher=The Jazz Mann |date= 4 January 2011 |access-date=2016-03-13))</ref>

In 2017 Hiseman formed a new trio band called JCM with guitarist/vocalist [[Clem Clempson]] and bass player/vocalist [[Mark Clarke]]. The band recorded an album ''Heroes'' late in 2017 which was released in April 2018. JCM began touring on 7 April.((citation needed|date=March 2022))

In May 2018 Hiseman's family reported that he was struggling with a [[brain tumour]].
