Keith Emerson

Keyboard virtuosity sits at the center of Keith Emerson’s place in progressive rock. As a member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, he brought Hammond organ, piano, Moog synthesizer, and large-scale classical adaptation into arena rock. Works such as Tarkus, Trilogy, and Fanfare for the Common Man made his style a symbol of 1970s keyboard-led rock.
