Colosseum II is a British band which rose from the ashes of the original Colosseum. Formed by the drummer of Colosseum Jon Hiseman in 1975, the new lineup featured Don Airey, John Mole, Gary Moore and Mike Starrs. The sound was oriented toward Jazz fusion, much of which was based around the guitar work of Moore, a much heavier sound than the original Colosseum band. After three successful albums, the band decided to end the project with Moore joining Thin Lizzy for a fourth spell. In 1978 they recorded the album Variations (album) by Andrew Lloyd Webber which also featured Julian Lloyd Webber on cello, Rod Argent on keyboards and Hiseman's wife, Barbara Thompson, on Flute and sax. This reached Number 2 on the UK charts.
