ZOO

Formed in the wake of May '68, Zoo featured singer Joël Daydé and studio musicians including guitarist Pierre Fanen. Inspired by progressive rock and jazz rock, the group enjoyed success with albums Zoo (1969), I Shall Be Free (1970, with a new singer, Englishman Ian Bellamy), Hard Times, Good Times (1972) and constant touring. On two occasions, his musicians collaborated with Léo Ferré, before going their separate ways in 1972. In 2010, a revival under the name Zoo Tribute Original, with Joël Daydé, resulted in the live album Episode One.
