Zzebra – Hungry Horse
Zzebra were an English ethno-jazz/funk/fusion band that released two albums on Polydor in 1974 and 1975.
The band featured the talents of English saxophonist and composer Dave Quincy (founder-member of IF), bass guitarist John McCoy (later GILLAN and MAMMOTH), keyboardist Tommy Eyre (ALEX HARVEY, ILLUSION, MSG only to name a few), vocalist Alan Marshall, original OSIBISA member Lasisi Amao, guitarist Steve Byrd (later GILLAN) and Irish drummer Liam Genockey (AMALGAM, STEELEYE SPAN, GILLAN) when they played at Bremen’s (Germany) Postaula in 1975.
Dave Quincy: „This Radio Bremen live session in 1975 is probably the last recording made by Zzebra before the band split, and it exemplifies how bands can be before their time, with the Prog. Rock Afro Jazz still standing up nearly 50 years on.“
John McCoy: „This is one such night with its typical high and low moments, still improvising, taking musical risks but overall having a great time with a totally unique band. Enjoy!“
