London-born Steve Hackett was the guitarist with Genesis from 1971 to ’77. His first album with them was Nursery Cryme, and he departed for a solo career after Wind & Wuthering due to feeling that his material was being overlooked. Since his solo debut album Voyage Of The Acolyte (made while still a member of Genesis), Hackett has released 25 albums of his own. He was also a member of GTR with Yes/Asia guitarist Steve Howe, worked with the same band’s bassist, Chris Squire, and has appeared on albums by Alan Parsons, John Wetton, Steven Wilson and Marillion’s Steve Rothery, among many others.
