If

The Profile

If is a British jazz-rock group formed in the late 1960s by saxophonist Dick Morrissey and guitarist Terry Smith, noted for cohesive, groove-driven arrangements and a string of early-’70s albums.

Reviews highlight a British jazz-rock era (late ’60s–early ’70s) featuring Dick Morrissey, Terry Smith, and vocalist J.W. Hodkinson, and also reference a separate Italian prog/indie quintet named If (album: Morpho Nestira).

Two upbeat reviews orbit around If: one celebrates their early-’70s British jazz-rock spark—groove-first, sunny, and cohesive—naming players like Dick Morrissey, Terry Smith, and J.W. Hodkinson. The other spotlights an Italian prog/indie quintet called If and its album Morpho Nestira, praised for tasteful playing and smart influences. Expect references to Blood, Sweat & Tears, Colosseum, Radiohead, Notwist, Pink Floyd, and a lot of groove. Overall tone: warm, energetic, and pro‑music.
