Trevor Charles Rabinowitz - Born 13 January 1954 (Johannesburg, South Africa)

Born in 1954 in Johannesburg, Trevor RABIN started playing guitar at the age of twelve, and within a year he was playing his first local gigs in his brother?s band. From there he formed his first group CONGLOMERATION, and was a session musician by the tender age of 17. His musical career was delayed by being drafted into the army, but on leaving he soon formed RABBITT with former CONGLOMERATION bandmates, Neil CLOUD and Ronnie ROBOT. RABBITT soon became the most successful rock act ever to come from the country, winning multiple awards and having hit albums and singles.

He left RABBITT and moved to London in 1978 where he produced bands such MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND also released his debut solo album. He moved to LA in the early Eighties, where he came to the attention of Chris SQUIRE who was looking for a guitarist for his new band, which at that time was called CINEMA. However, after Jon ANDERSON joined the band the decision was taken to again take up the name YES, and the resulting album '90125' became the biggest selling of their career.

Trevor was with Yes for four albums, and since leaving he has concentrated mostly on film scores, and has continued to work in multiple different styles of music, including progressive rock. At the time of writing he has released five solo albums, with the most recent coming out in 2012







Push, the track I chose takes me back to the best Yes atmospheres with excellent use of choirs
I will always be grateful to Trevor Rabin for Endless Dream, one of the best Yes tracks, for having composed it, arranged it and even composed a good part of the bass parts, clashing with the great Chris Squire and getting into arguments and combined with the fact that Talk was the first album released with a independent label was not adequately promoted on the market, reaching position #20 in England and #33 in the United States. and so Talk remains Yes' most underrated album which includes Endless Dream, a masterpiece by Trevor Rabin
...but due to the clash with Squire and the problems of the lack of promotion of the album led Rabin to abandon Yes, creating a void filled by Billy Sherwood who I never liked and it may be a coincidence but the subsequent album OPEN YOUR EYES marks Yes's lowest point
