Zzebra
Hungry Horse (live In Germany 1975)
Zzebra was an extraordinary, but unfortunately short-lived, British jazz-rock band of the 1970s, a kind of "supergroup" that mixed jazz, progressive rock and African rhythms. Zzebra was founded by the two ex-If members Terry Smith (guitar) and Dave Quincy (saxophone) as well as Loughty Amao (saxophone, flute) from the Afro rock band Osibisa. In 1974 and 1975 the band released two albums at Polydor, briefly became the house band at London's legendary Ronnie Scott's Club and toured with Yes, Soft Machine and Chick Corea's Return To Forever. On October 20, 1975, Zzebra performed at the Postaula in Bremen. The concert was recorded and is now being published for the first time. In addition to Dave Quincy and Laughty Amao, bass guitarist John McCoy (Gillan, Mammoth), keyboardist Tommy Eyre (Alex Harvey, Illusion, MSG), singer Alan Marshall, guitarist Steve Byrd (Gillan) and Irish drummer Liam Genockey were also present (Amalgan, Steeleye Span, Gillan) on stage.
