We have been developing the Band since January 2004. The aim is to create a tight trio playing mostly blues of a danceable style. Also thrown in for good measure are various favourites from the 50's / 60's and beyond.

With a musical style described as "off the mainstream altogether!" Mark Ziza Band blends sounds from Delta Blues to the quirks of a Tom Waits swing tune.

The Mark Ziza Band demo's are separated in three files: Blues(2.5MB), Rock n Roll(1.5MB) and a mixture of dirty live(1.6MB) recordings....
