Zoot Money, un extravagante líder que fue uno de los pioneros de la escena británica del R&B y el rock & roll en la década de 1960, ayudó a allanar el camino a artistas de la talla de The Rolling Stones y The Yardbirds, pero sólo tuvo un gran éxito con el contoneante, ululante y soul stomp "Big Time Operator".

Nacido en el seno de una familia de inmigrantes italianos en Bournemouth (Inglaterra), George Bruno Money creció tocando la trompa francesa, pero quedó fascinado por el nacimiento del rock & roll y el movimiento skiffle en la década de 1950 y cambió su nombre por el de Zoot Sims, saxofonista de jazz. Convertido en un habitual de los bares del Soho, Money fundó su Big Roll Band en 1961 con el guitarrista Roger Collis, el pianista Al Kirtley y el bajista Mike Montgomery, y más tarde se convirtieron en la banda principal del legendario Flamingo Club, justo cuando el swing de los sesenta estaba alcanzando su punto álgido. Andy Summers también tocó con la banda antes de alcanzar la fama internacional con The Police. Money aprendió su oficio y se labró una reputación como teclista con el grupo seminal Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated antes de lanzar los primeros singles de la Big Roll Band "The Uncle Willie" y "Good" en 1964.

Sus álbumes "It Should Have Been Me" y "Zoot!" captaban a la perfección la versión británica del R&B estadounidense de la época, pero fue "Big Time Operator" el único que llegó al gran público y alcanzó el número 25 en las listas del Reino Unido en 1966. A medida que cambiaban las tendencias, la banda se transformó en el grupo psicodélico de prog-rock Dantalion's Chariot en 1967 y Money se trasladó a América un año más tarde para tocar con Eric Burdon y The Animals antes de publicar su primer álbum en solitario Welcome to My Head y participar en The End of the Game de Peter Green.

Siguió trabajando en diversos proyectos musicales en los años 70 y 80, como con Steve Marriott y Ronnie Lane, Spencer Davis Group y Mick Taylor, y participó como actor en varias películas y series de televisión británicas, como "Bergerac", "Coronation Street" y "Porridge". Sigue actuando regularmente con The Big Roll Band en la escena británica del blues y publicó un nuevo álbum en solitario, 'The Book of Life. I've Read It' en 2016 a través de Treasure Island Records.
