Uzeb was a Canadian jazz fusion band from Montreal, Quebec, who were active from 1976 to 1992. The members were Alain Caron (bass guitar), Michel Cusson (guitar), and Paul Brochu (drums). UZEB had a blend of virtuoso playing and modern synthesized timbres, along with an emphasis on original compositions. The band won a number of Canadian awards during the 1980s.
UZEB was formed in 1976 in Drummondville, Que, by guitarist Michel Cusson. After the band's debut in St-Eusèbe, Que, the name Eusèbe-Jazz was used; this name was later shortened to UZEB. The band soon moved to Montreal. Drummer Jean St-Jacques and bassist Alain Caron joined Cusson in 1978. The drummer's position was next filled by Sylvain Coutu, and then in 1980 by Paul Brochu. Until 1987, UZEB also used a keyboard/synthesizer player. In the 1980s, UZEB had what was then a very technologically advanced Midi system for its synthesizers.
