Hard to watch this. Wonderful musicians here of course, but it's still pretty much awful. Joe's music is HARD! He would be mortified by this. The phrasing is just way over the orchestras head. No meaning is coming through at all. Just goes to show that you can have 100 quality people up there and it still doesn't even begin to equal one Joe Zawinul. But to be fair, I haven't seen a tribute yet that he would have liked.
I'll sort tha out for you asap, should be easy although its not my favorit Peter Tiehuis but another guitarist being bound to this orchestra for a long time......
Nobody can play this bass line like Richard Bona did on My People(it's like his own Havona.These tunes weren't played live because it might have been too hard to perform right)
You will hear the diffrence.The band increases the tempo a little bit, right after the change and that goes very smooth.Joe's music often goes for the attack and that smoothness is the quiet before the storm.
I agree that Vince wrote the score but I also think that Joe's intention for that
Yes i know !! lol but i don't find it's disorganised!... but... we don't care.. JOE LIVES through them...! I'm gonna See The Zawinul Syndicate Tribute to JOe, in PAris Nest 15th November.. see you !! ROmain
I heard the difference... my friend! Yes it's reeeeeeeeally different!! Joe make that moment longer than Vince.. how are you? I'm listening to Lost tribes.. it's great! see you!
Oh you mean 3.24? And i see what you mean. But every time i saw this tune performed live by Joe, linley Used to do like Victor.And i don't see the problem... see you!!
Now, there is a CD of this Tribute to Joe Zawinul. "Fast City" by Vince Mendoza with the Metropole Orkest (BHM). It's a great one!

The truth is that Joe Zawinul liked Vince Mendoza's arrangements of his music and went on tour with him and the WDR Bigband in Germany.

Richard Bona is great but you should check out the version of this song on the 75 live album. Linley Marthe jams it out.

Friend Romainlabaye,I really mean 5.24.
Go to clip 2 from anothernick in Lugano at 4.10.
You will hear the diffrence.The band increases the tempo a little bit, right after the change and that goes very smooth.Joe's music often goes for the attack and that smoothness is the quiet before the storm.
I agree that Vince wrote the score but I also think that Joe's intention for that
moment (4.10)is diffrent.
Perhaps you have another opinion.

At 5.24 it was disorganised and I think Victor Bailey did not step in at the right time.Joe wanted the real change right there.
But overall Vince is doing a great job with Zawinul's music
zawi1956 3 years ago
Man, He changed! What's going wrong? This is Vince arrangement, not Joe's one. So, Victor is reading his Score, and it's going well!
