Dear Dave,
Definitely not our lot, as mentioned by my mate Phil O'Rourke.
The Oz group goes back to the 1950s and was an organised pick-up trad jazz band, formed specifically for performances at the Australian Jazz Convention.
Nor can I hear any banter that "sounds a bit like Oz."
How dare you sir!

But you were certainly right about "(pretty awful)".
Very kind regards,
Bill.
