[arfurlife]

This is really wonderful stuff. Loved you to bits Joe. RIP

[cmgill2]

The ultimate musician with the tightest band on earth.

[098398571]

Uf,screaming chicken !!!

What is her purpose ???

Just noise,to this groove magic music.

RIP Joe.

[MrRandblues]

Wooooo!SaMMMOKIN! Iwas wondering what happened to Josef after Weather Report . I knew it had to be good whatever he was involved in ! I do not understand what lyrics are being sung but, that is the beauty of music in any language it is a universal understanding. : )

[FusionHowie]

OMG where have I been I didn't know Joe passed. What an awesome band, awesome show!! I saw him in the 80's with Jaco it changed my life. I must have this new CD !

[TheDilligan]

He can be telling chuck norris jokes in that mic and you wouldn't even know it lol...

[Obidibidou]

Like a migration of wilderbeast !!!

[Obidibidou]

Listen to those Congas !!!

[mtreyer]

Mad respect

[Ilverdinho]

cool

[IskaBir]

[Galifalia]

awesome!

[mcrdaveabc]

Joe..will miss you big at The Blue Note, you kept me there in the front row table, night after night.. and your incredible beat goes on

[clolom95]

its amazing what you can do with a tambourine

[globaljazz]

four months ago from the dramatic disaster, he looked so happy here!

If you look at the 75 birthday video, it is hard to see him struggle and looking so sad!

Just a week later his wife Maxine passed away, and even after that he continued playing, what a great man he really was. One of the best and friendliest musician ever walked on this dirty planet....but Joe was beautiful!

[myklmusic]

Saw You at Blues Alley a couple years ago...

I dedicate my next synth solo to You.

Rest easy, Bro!

[gialo99]

Great Joe Zawinul!..

[erikescobar]

Sua música existirá eternamente e se perpetuará por toda eternidade até a consumação dos seculos até a volta de J...

Erik Escobar

[ArtVandalay666]

Even after dying his music still seems so alive. He himself even still seems so alive.

[1953jazzman]

Even in his last month's of life, Z was still able to play with joy and passion - what a unique individual and musician! Fabulous performance - I just wish it didn't mess with my head so much when the visual and the audio are slightly out of sync! LOL

[davieIII]

Thank you,Joe.  Lordy - I see you again some day...

[Toggyuri]

Jesus, this is the awesome bass ... Apparently, there is Zawinul junior school. This is good! "

[nyxPr1nc3]

r.i.p joe

dmn he brought forth many good musicians

[Dundee1997]

I miss his genius and power so much.

R.I.P. Joe

[aleksathin]

αγγιζει την τελειοτητα

[TheBitterWeed]

Damn.

What the FUCK am I doing in England.

[TheBitterWeed]

This is freaking AMAZING !

[Trojammin48]

First time seeing this video... His dad called him Pepe' now you see why... Untouched energy... That is what you get when you chop wood at three am!!!

[ailegio]

The woman who sings and who plays an instrument made of little cymbals wich I don't remember the name is called Sabine and is a close friend of a friend of mine. She has lost her work since Zawinul died : (

[Zawinul2008]

@ailegio Well I really, really, hope she will be part of the "Zawinul Legacy Band" Anthony Z. is said to put together "soon".

Anyway, I'll not forget walking beside/behind her at Joe's funeral. Her dancing walk to the sound of "Good Day".

(And you can tell the friend of yours he can tell her that she has so much power and presence I was at times a little "afraid" of her. I miss her a lot.)

[ailegio]

@Zawinul2008 Yeah, she sure has a tough style in her singing. Besides with Zawinul, she sang in a french band called ''Zap Mama"

---RIP Josef Zawinul---

[pzwumk20]

oh man! so sad to see Master joe in one of his last appearences . he was already very sick on this video. RIP

[slapit5]

monster bass line made my day

[mace2musik]

you are sooo right, man.. gorgeous

[mrgone78]

this is so hypnotic. zawinul was one of the last great innovators in creating a truly individual sound. And who would have thought only four months after this, he would no longer be with us.

[Dundee1997]

Yes, I agree with you!

[lucaoby]

The genius !! The best  !

Always i love for ever

[hjmndj]

"J" BOMBED! XD FCKING AMAZING!

[DAWL01]

[ronmamita]

Thank you both (User Lueiji for posting and user DAWL01 for referring me here).

LOVE & Peace

[urbancasbah]

rip master.....

[foxxxer22]

Zawinul was a true master

[92ninersboy]

The body may give out but the Spirit is eternal. Adios Joe . . . catch you later.

[honeybozo]

Thanks Joe; wonderful music very uplifting......rip

[pcvahte]

god knows if he had any idea here that he only had 6 months left in this world.

[tubzinblu]

Who's the bass player anyone know ?

[oneworldclub]

His name is Alune Wade.

[wilko2409]

i swear, the first one i heard with the syndicate was Bona, then i heard linley marthe and didnt like him at first, but now i love him. Wonder if the same will happen with this guy...haha!!

peace

[robram818]

I was lucky enough to see his 2004 band play the Hollywood Bowl! I've seen pretty much everyone in my day. Miles, Stern, Scofield, Dizzy, Herbie, Chick etc etc) I have to admit- I was in tears because it was so impressive! He was not only a unreal musical talent....but an amazing musical director!

[drosshaug]

Just have to say....this is awesome...man what a magic power groove...love this video..

[jazzfusionner]

World Music Supreme. Grrrooooovvvvvessssss. Look at Joesepi! Love the Josepi. ohhhhhh my, this grooooovvvessss

[KindredHyperion]

you gotta love the vocoder :D

[alambada]

ECCEZZIONALE !!!

[torturer6067]

what are some good records form Zawinul?

I like fusion that has a constant groove, Tribaltech for instance or more prog/jazz like Hiromi Uehara. So what to buy? Any advice would be helpful

[turn4don]

any zawinul is good, Zawinul is the master

[Zawinul2008]

If you liked this video you should check out "Vienna Nights" (2CD Zawinul Syndicate Live at his Birdland Vienna), The "World Tour" (2 CD live 1997), also "Brown STreet" (2CD live at Birdland 2005, yes there is a Big BAnd but it grooves like hell).

[ninersboy92]

Zawinul, like Miles, is a state of mind. He's a great spirit...an eternal presence.

[AbstractMan23]

simply too good. it almost hurts to watch this clip. damn!!

undoubtedly a genius.

you could listen to this 1000 times and still find something new...

love you joe!

[aronizer]

That bass player is sick!!! The whole band actually

[kundalini76]

Loved this, inspirational grooves! Was jamming to it on violin, so many possibilities within such seemingly 'simple' 2 or 3 note motifs, and the collective groove is a just the most amazing expression of sheer joy. JZ lives on in the spirit of music! like all the immortals he's in an eternal higher dimension beyond time and space...Thanx for posting!

[gabdragon]

zawinul always loved African bassplayers

[jolandasterbloem]

very good.....

[saphirebullet]

That bass player Alune is incredible. groove

[Starmandala]

Salud, Joe. Such joyful funk will never die! Groove on forever, bro :-)

[3XXRHCPXX3]

Joe Zawinul died today, in Wien. R.I.P. Joe.

[ulyskaru]

Merci et désolé, je pensais qu'Alune était le nom du groupe que l'on voit en arrière plan du zawinul syndicate. Je suis allé sur ta page myspace... Que du bons sons et que du beau monde, il n'y a là que de brillants musiciens . Content, de connaitre un nouveau bassiste qui assure "grave" . Merci pour ta disponibilité et ton grand talent .

[ulyskaru]

Grand groove!!

Please, someone could tell me who's the bassist? Habib faye?

[alunemusik]

Hi!

The bassist's name is Alune (check myspace alunemusik). Specially invited from Dakar, Senegal by Joe Zawinul to perform with him and Bobby McFerrin

[fbuscaroli]
