For HQ audio: • • Wizzo Band - The Stroll • • When people remember Roy Wood and the bands he was in, they usually remember The Move, ELO or Wizzard. However, not many people remember Wizzo Band, a Roy Wood project in the late 1970s. • • Wizzo Band was a jazz-rock ensemble that began in 1975 after the split of Wizzard. The line up was: • Roy Wood - guitar, saxophones • Rick Price - pedal steel guitar • Graham Gallery - bass • Paul Robbins - keyboards, backing vocals • Dave Donovan - drums • Billy Paul - alto and baritone saxes • Bob Wilson - trombone • • They played one live show on the BBC programme 'Sight and Sound in Concert' filmed at the Paris Theatre in London (one track from this performance was released as the b-side to Roy's solo single 'O.T.T.'), and only released one album, Super Active Wizzo, which was met with a load of criticism upon its release in 1977, as fans were baffled by the music style. It eventually got CD release in 2007. Wizzo Band also released 2 singles: 'The Stroll' / 'Jubilee' and 'Dancing at Rainbow's End' / 'Waiting at This Door', neither of which charted (the latter a-side was a track from Roy's solo album 'On the Road Again'). Eventually, Wizzo Band ended in 1978, having been an uncommercial music venture, and even long-standing Roy Wood fans still find Wizzo Band rather dissapointing (I don't! I like Wizzo Band's music).
