There he met Edgar Froese and played with one of the earliest incarnations of Tangerine Dream. He subsequently joined the band Steamhammer, a blues-rock outfit that experienced moderate success in the early 1970s, touring extensively and played on their "Steamhammer II" album, as well as co-writing the "Autumn Song" single which topped the French charts.[2] After leaving the band, Jolliffe composed the music for John Samson's 1973 documentary Tattoo.[3]
Jolliffe rejoined Tangerine Dream in the late 1970s, recording the album Cyclone with the band in 1978.[1]: 61 [4] He then released a solo album entitled Earth in 1978. After this Jolliffe released solo albums at the rate of approximately one per year, including The Bruton Suite,[5] Journeys Out Of The Body, Alien and Zanzi.[6]
Jolliffe is a multi-instrumentalist, playing, among others, the keyboard, flute and piccolo.[7]
