Zzebra

Zzebra was a top-notch 1970s Uk prog rock and roll group — a brilliant group of kinds — that threw jazz, rock and roll, and African rhythms right into a huge fusion blender. The initial incarnation from the music group highlighted guitarist Terry Smith (previously within the group If ), saxophonist Dave Quincy (also previously in If), flutist and saxophonist Lasisi “Loughty” Amao (previously in Osibisa), pianist and vocalist Gus Yeadon (previously within the ROMANCE), bassist John McCoy, and drummer Liam Genockey. Which was the machine that documented and released the self-titled Zzebra in 1974. Smith still left during periods for the group’s second record, Anxiety, and was changed by Steve Byrd. Anxiety made an appearance originally in 1975, accompanied by two even more albums that yr, Lost Globe and Consider It or Keep It (where period the group presented keyboardist Tommy Eyre and vocalist Alan Marshall). But that effective flurry was to become the end from the operate for Zzebra, as well as the group drifted to some close. Most of Zzebra’s materials continues to be reissued within the digital period, often with extra bonus tracks attracted from McCoy’s personal tape archive from the music group.
