[edit] Career

Weaver's band performed as Wynder K. Frog[1] and became popular on the student union and club circuit of the mid sixties. A brief merging of this band with Herbie Goins and the Night Timers took his work to a higher level. After the demise of Wynder K. Frog Weaver replaced Steve Winwood to appear with the remainder of Traffic as Mason, Capaldi, Wood and Frog, soon shortened to Wooden Frog before the association dissolved after three months and Traffic reformed.[1] After this he recorded with solo artists such as Buddy Guy, Dave Gilmour, Joe Cocker, Eric Burdon, Frankie Miller, Roger Chapman Steve Marriott and Gary Moore as well as Taj Mahal and The Blues Band[2], also playing keyboards with Steve Marriott's Majik Mijits[3].

Wynder K. Frogg - they are billed under this spelling - appeared on the bill at The Savile Theatre, London on 24th September 1967 supporting Traffic on their First U.K. Presentation. Also on the bill were Jackie Edwards and Nirvana. The compere was David Symonds.

[edit] Wynder K Frog

Wynder K Frog was a jazz and blues based rock band fronted by Weaver, with a line including guitarist Neil Hubbard from Bluesology, saxophone player Chris Mercer who had been with John Mayall's Blues Breakers Alan Spenner on bass, Bruce Rowlands on drums and Anthony (Reebop) Kwaku Baah on percussion. They recorded two studio albums before breaking up.[1]

[edit] Sunshine Super Frog

In the album liner notes Jimmy Miller noted that Weaver had "supplemented the band with trumpet, tenor sax, guitar, bass and drums, Wynder has transformed the organ into a highly enjoyable medium of sound, combining jazzy finesse with popular and commercial phrasing suitable for vast appeal".
