will remain very little, The Nice continued as a trio until it broke up in 1969 when Keith Emerson, seeking to broaden his horizons, disbanded the group and formed the trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Brian Davison's Every Which Way Brian Davison then founded another group, Brian Davison's Every Which Way and released an eponymous album on the Charisma label in 1970, with Graham Bell on vocals, acoustic guitar and electric piano, John Hedley on electric guitar, Alan Cartwright on bass, Geoffrey Peach on flute, horns and backing vocals and of course Brian himself on drums. In a rhythm and blues and free jazz vein, the album contains the long blues Bed Ain't What It Used To Be, but goes completely unnoticed and, due to low sales, the group split up. Davison is then forced to play with small unknown formations. He plays for Wolfgang Dauner, then does a few sessions as a studio musician.

He did it again in 1973, again with Roy Harper for the album Lifemask, on which he played on the long suite The Lord's prayer. Lee Jackson, for his part, formed his own group Jackson Heights after the separation of Nice, and after their fourth album Bump n' grind, approached the Swiss keyboardist Patrick Moraz so that he joins them but the latter refuses and proposes instead to form another group with him, Refugee. It was then that Brian Davison reunited with his former companion from Nice and an eponymous album was produced in 1974. They did a few concerts then Moraz auditioned for the group Yes and left the trio; British keyboardist Graham Bond was considered a possible replacement but after an audition the combination proved impractical. While Jackson then retired from music to focus on a career as a designer, Davison persevered in playing with the band Gong on tour for a while before scraping by again with small local bands. Vivacitas In 2002, Keith Emerson reformed The Nice with Lee Jackson, Brian Davison and guitarist Dave Kilminster, augmented for a few songs by Phil Williams on bass and Pete Riley on drums. A tour of England followed and an album Vivacitas published in 2003, with songs from Nice including the double
