Eventually, Bev disbanded ELO Part II and sold his half of the ELO brand back to Jeff. Jeff began recording and performing as the Original Electric Light Orchestra in 2001 with the album 'Zoom'. Richard Tandy was the only original ELO member to contribute to the album, and tour. It's worth noting that ELO cancaeled their world tour in 2001 due to dismal ticket sales, although they did perform a series of limited shows in California, including material for VH1's Storytellers and the Zoom DVD.
