О группе

Если когда-либо и существовала команда, воплощающая истинный дух джаз-рока, то наверняка это была 'If', которая была весьма популярна в начале 70-х. Несмотря на свой относительной молодой возраст, все участники группы являлись высококвалифицированными джазовыми музыкантами с именем. Основали проект саксофонист Дик Моррисей (р. 9 мая 1940, у. 8 ноября 2000) и гитарист Терри Смит (р. 20 мая 1943). Моррисей уже успел прославиться на лондонской джазовой сцене благодаря своему квартету, где вместе с ним выступали знаменитые Фил Симен и Гарри Саутс. Кроме того, Дик играл с 'The Animals Big Band' и 'Georgie Fame'.
Терри Смит, обладавший быстрой техникой, часто пересекался с Диком на совместных джемах и, в конце концов, музыканты решили объединить свои силы. Третьим членом команды стал страстный игрок на тенор- и альт-саксофоне Дэйв Куинси (р. 13 сентября 1939). На роль вокалиста был ангажирован Джон Ходкинсон (р. 1949), чей блюзовый стиль напоминал Стива Уинвуда из 'Traffic'. Завершили комплектование состава Джон Милинг (р. 5 апреля 1942; клавишные, вокал), Джим Ричардсон (16 февраля 1941; бас) и Деннис Эллиотт (р. 18 августа 1950; ударные).
К моменту образования 'If' Дик, Терри и Дэйв работали под руководством американского продюсера Лью Футтермана в 'J.J. Jackson's Greatest Little Soul Band In The Land'. Как-то раз Футтерман прокрутил музыкантам записи 'Chicago' и 'Blood, sweat and tears' и поинтересовался смогут ли они сотворить что-нибудь подобное. Те сразу же согласились, поскольку их стиль был не так уж далек от вышеук
