"Jon Fiore: Yes, I was very fortunate. After the tours were over and they didn’t wanna pick up our second album I went back to New York City and I found myself doing all kinds of session work. I was singing commercials jingles, on various albums Michael Bolton, Cher and other artists. I went on to write and co-write songs for George Benson and some other artists. I also did several albums in 1999 and 2000 released all over Europe, Japan as the name FIORE. I was also signed again as Jon Fiore (1996) to Atlantic Records by Jason Flom. I wrote the songs that got me signed in again I only had a few of the songs so I spent the next year trying to write the album with various people in California New York and came very close to securing David Foster to produce one or two of the songs but in the end they pulled the plug on the album and we were never releasing it. I remember working with some great songwriters one of them is Keith Diamond who wrote Caribbean Queen and we wrote some really good songs I worked with another guy named Joshua Thompson who has written many R&B hits but in the end the label and I just didn’t see it the guy who was running the out the label was Doug Morris and he just for some reason didn’t believe in me and in this business if you don’t have someone pushing all the buttons You are dead on arrival"
SIMON PHILLIPS
An innovative, aggressive drummer, Simon Phillips embarked on his musical career at an early age. He showed affinity for the drums quickly — beginning with a toy kit at age four, moving on to a snare and cymbal set at six; by age 12, Phillips was performing and recording with his father's Dixieland jazz band.
After his father's death, Phillips left the jazz band and began exploring other musical styles, including rock and musicals. A gig as a drummer for a production of Jesus Christ Superstar led to session work, drumming on the demos of various cast members. As his connections in the music scene grew, so did his session credits: From the '70s onward, Phillips performed with prominent rock and jazz artists like Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend, Gil Evans, Stanley Clark, Frank Zappa, and Peter Gabriel.
By 1997, however, Phillips was ready to lead his own band. Joined by a cast of seasoned rock and jazz musicians including guitarists Ray Russell and Andy Timmons, saxophonist Wendell Brooks, bassist Anthony Jackson, and percussionist Peter Michael Escovedo, Phillips began touring as a bandleader. This lineup also recorded Phillips' 1997 album Another Lifetime. Three years later, Vantage Point was released.
