'Three', as the title suggests, is the third album to come from Jim Diamond (vocals) and Tony Hymas (keyboards) under the name 'Ph.D.' It began life in late 2006 and is the first album of new material from Ph.D. for more than 25 years! As such, it was hotly anticipated by the band's cult fan base. Original drummer Simon Phillips plays on 3 tracks.
In the early 80s Ph.D. was the coming together of three hugely experienced and respected musicians - Jim Diamond, Tony Hymas and Simon Phillips.
Jim Diamond had previously been the vocalist with British rock band ‘Bandit’ who released two albums for Arista Records. He’s recorded with both Tony Banks and Steve Hackett, including...
- ‘Days of Long Ago’ on Steve Hackett’s 1999 album Darktown
- ‘You Call This Victory’ on Tony Banks’ 1986 album Soundtracks
- ‘Sailing’ (charity single) by ‘Rock Against Repatriation’ - an all-star band assembled by Steve Hackett.
Tony Hymas and Simon Phillips were members of the Jeff Beck Group during Jeff’s popular late 70s fusion period. Tony recorded and co-wrote tracks on Jeff’s 1980 album 'There and Back' and was also a member of the Jack Bruce band in addition to being a classical and jazz composer and pianist.
Simon Phillips was already a seasoned session drummer. He’s arguably best known now for his time with Toto, but has played with numerous acts and artists including The Who, Mike Oldfield and Phil Manzanera. Simon played on Mike Rutherford’s solo album Smallcreep’s Day and also contributed to the ‘Sailing’ single from Steve Hackett’s Rock Against Repatriation project (mentioned above). More recently Simon has been working with Steve and Chris Squire on as yet unreleased material!
