 Opinions and other informations:

    

A band made of pieces from Z-66 and Los Bravos (Zee + Bra), featuring who became later one of the most known jazz guitarrist of Spain: Joan Bibiloni. In fact, Zebra can be considered the band of Joan Bibiloni. Their only record is a remarcable one and it has a goo recording quality for that time. It has a fine mix of more poppy themes and very interesting progressive ones, specially a cover of the song "Imagine" of John Lennon, that seems to be made by Yes themselves. Guitars in this record remind those of Steve Howe and also the vocal works are also in that direction. Moreover, I have read somewhere that the Jon Anderson's brother belonged to the band, but noone has confirmed me this point. (José Manuel Iñesta)


I got a confirmation through David Walmsley. Tony Anderson was an original member of Zebra. In www.wammy-uk.com there are picture proofs. Even Jon himself can be seen hands on the mix. (José Manuel Iñesta)
