Albums - The Johnny Z Band: Bring Back the Night (1987)

As for the music, it is a really enjoyable album that I would highly recommend to any fan of the Malibooz. Zambetti is the heart and soul of that band, and though he also has a career as an M.D. (working in the ER!!), he never lost his passion for the music. He carries that passion and his great talent into his solo material as well. Don't be fooled though, this is decidedly not surf music; it's rock and roll. The majority of the songs are fast and hard (relative to The Malibooz). Admittedly, Bring Back the Night is an album that is of its times and when listened to now - nearly twenty years later - it does sound rather dated. However that doesn't detract too much from its value as great music. The title track is a personal favorite, as are "Last Shot of Darkness," and "Let My Love Be There."
