ones in which Pete Hewlett sings." Novo Combo toured with The Who, Cheap Trick, Greg Lake and performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival '81. Hewlett then worked with Billy Joel. Hewlett hit the road with Joel for the An Innocent Man and The Bridge world tours. Then came the tour that made international news: Billy Joel would bring a fully staged rock production to the Soviet Union as part of the Ronald Reagan-Mikhail Gorbachev 1985 Geneva summit. Hewlett performed with Joel in Moscow and Leningrad—and made history as part of the first live rock radio broadcast in Soviet history, which was also simulcast in the United States. The live double-album, КОНЦЕРТ (translation: 'In Concert'), chronicled the trip. Back in the States, Hewlett recorded the Starlight Express Broadway soundtrack, Joe Jackson's Big World recording and U.S. Concert Tour, Julian Lennon's The Secret Value of Daydreaming album and Amy Grant's 1997 World Leader Summit performance. Most recently, Hewlett joined Billy Joel once again to perform at the "Last Play at Shea" concerts in July 2008. NOVO COMBO is presently working on a new Production Album, CD to be released Mid 2020.
