Jack Lancaster

**Jack Lancaster** is a British multi-instrumentalist best known for his genre-blending saxophone work and collaborations that bridge jazz, rock, and classical music. Rising to prominence as a founding member of blues-rock band Blodwyn Pig (formed after guitarist Mick Abrahams left Jethro Tull in 1968), Lancaster later carved out a unique niche with ambitious concept projects. His playful 1976 collaboration with keyboardist Robin Lumley, *Peter and the Wolf*—a proggy reinterpretation of Prokofiev’s classic—remains a cult favorite, recently remastered for modern audiences.

Lancaster’s passion for fusing storytelling with music shines in releases like *Marscape* (a space-themed jazz-rock odyssey) and *Skinningrove Bay*, which reflects his love for British coastal landscapes. Recent works like *We Were Lions* and *Wild Connections* continue his tradition of vivid, nature-inspired compositions, while reissues of classics keep his legacy fresh. Whether revisiting past triumphs or crafting new sonic adventures, Lancaster’s career remains a testament to curiosity and cross-genre experimentation.
