After leaving the Yardbirds, Keith Relf formed Renaissance, in similar mold, before forming Armageddon.
Renaissance, now featuring Annie Haslam on vocals, went the rock-jazz-prog route.
Albums you might want to investigate - “Prologue” and “Ashes Are Burning”.
Captain Beyond, especially the first album, where the songs segue and blend seamlessly.

At another joint I frequent, members are keen on Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate.
