Wizards of Oz were a briefly existing Australian jazz quartet from the late 1980s.[1] The members were Dale Barlow on tenor saxophone, Paul Grabowsky on piano and the Necks' band mates Lloyd Swanton on bass and Tony Buck on drums. They released one album, Soundtrack (1988),[2] which won the 1989 ARIA Award for Best Jazz Album.[3] In 2017 Mal Stanley of Jazztrack on ABC Jazz described it as "a standout album in the Australian Jazz pantheon, and it inspired many young local players at the time of its release."[2]
