Post Description

Snowball was a German based jazz-rock band consisting of British, German and US musicians. The founding members were Curt Cress (drums Ex-Passport), Dave King (Bass, Ex-Embryo), Kristian Schultze (Keyboards, Ex-Passport) and Roye Albrighton (guitar and vocals Ex ?Nektar). The band played a funk oriented progressive jazz-rock similar to Passport, with a rockier edge. The first record Defroster was released in 1978. Albrighton left after the first record and the band was joined by new members Frank Diez on guitar, Eddie Taylor on sax und vocals and Reginald Worthy replaced Dave King on bass. This quintet recorded Cold Heat released in 1979 with a more blues oriented sound. The third and last soul oriented record Follow the white line released in 1980 was judged by critics as more commercial. The band split in December 1981.
