JoJo

This Toto -styled, German rock quartet was come up with by former Tokyo guitarist Robby Musenbilcher and vocalist/guitarist Roko Kohlmeyer after working together as session musicians. Recruiting ex-Tokyo key pad participant Lothar Krell, vocalist George Liszt and drummer Fritz Matzka (d. 1989), they decided on 11 tracks through the 40 that they had written for addition on the debut album. Made by Yes supremo Eddie Offord, this is a highly refined collection, advanced but ultimately medical. It lacked the required gusto to provide the band a genuine identity. Kohlmeyer continued to enjoy even more achievement with Roko, while Matzka unfortunately succumbed to disease soon after the recording’s release.
