what's the keyboardist's name?

[Gordy94930]

The keyboardist is Frank Martin. He wore the hat as a tribute to Joe, and organized the event.

They aren't competing with Zawinul... They're playing a tribute to him. The only important thing is that they're enjoying the music and recognizing his work.

Teaching jazz fusion to students. Pretty cool. I happen to love the guy. This is the worst thing you could listen to if you don't know what he's already done. Multiple grammys, stuff you've heard on the radio.

[JimFotoMan]

But why do they play it in C and not Bflat like the orignal....??? ;-)

[zedomax]

These guys are like me so damn good but dont realize that they r.

This is a fantastic performance. The keyboardist and saxaphonist are absolutely incredible. When the sax player screams like that, it sounds like a human voice is actually screaming. They truly unlock the secret of the song, which is that it can be played in so many ways. What a tribute!

[Harky1951]

I don't like critical comments..if someone doesn't like a post....just move on. These guys are obviously enjoying themselves and they do a fine job of it. Took me back to the 'day'.

It's an interesting interpretation of the song. Bass line so empty it's ok but he could go beyond. The drummer brings everybody to the top but sometimes is too much.

I like the saxophonist and the piano player.

Good job!!
