ZAO

Musical Group

French jazz‑rock group led by wind player Yochk'o 'Jeff' Seffer and pianist François 'Faton' Cahen, known for a fusion of jazz, rock, free improvisation and occasional Zeuhl elements.

Founding/leading musicians mentioned in the review: Yochk'o 'Jeff' Seffer (winds) and François 'Faton' Cahen (piano/keys). Other contributors noted on Kawana: Gérard Prevost (bass), Didier Lockwood (violin), Jean-My Truong (drums) and additional collaborators on some tracks. The review links Seffer and Cahen to the original Magma core and to the Univeria Zekt project; Kawana (1976) is described as the band's fourth studio album and a stylistic move toward balanced fusion with traces of Zeuhl and Free Jazz.

A positive, detailed appreciation of Zao's 1976 album Kawana. Highlights the group's move toward balanced fusion with Free Jazz and Zeuhl traces. Emphasises Cahen and Seffer's leadership and the album's historical value.

For:Fans of 1970s European jazz‑rock, fusion and Zeuhl; listeners interested in experimental French prog-jazz.

 Four stars of historical value, therefore, and an essential album for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the alternative French scene of those unrepeatable years.
