It was in the late 50s or early 60s when I met Joe first in Innsbruck when he played with Fatty George, I was a child and he bought me some ice cream, that's why I remember that afternoon. Years later we met again in Munich when he was touring with Weather Report and he introduced me to Wayne and Jaco. Then I met him every year until his death. I really miss him.

[@petercjulian1]

Seeing Joe Zawinul smiling makes me smile.

[@OursDéplumé]

you're right, this man didn't seem to smile for a scramble

[@BLUTOV]

I saw Zawinul at the old Catalina Bar & Grill on Cahuenga in Los Angeles 97 and then in 2005 when his band was named the Zawinul Syndicate at the Detroit International Jazz Festival....man he could go....absolute genius.

[@TheGuitarver]

Bass players always got it up for Joe.... He had his own unique everything going on old Joe. Miss him :-( He left a lot though :-))

[@myjeanjones]

Joe Zawinul is the Master Innovator of Fusion Jazz. He will not, and cannot be duplicated. Copied?, yes, but the mold has been broken. ONE OF A KIND. You're gone, but your legacy lives on!!! Thank you for the memories!!!!! Peace and Love,

[@Rhythm911]

One name, one band, that ere close contenders but heavier the way I lIT... UZEB !!!! 😎

[@susanjohnson2068]

You are absolutely on track. I don’t know why he wasn’t given the accolades he deserves which tells a lot about the current state of popular music.

[@louise_rose]

Also arguably the Godfather of World Music as a popular wave phenomenon and a "genre" (along with Fela Kuti, Herbie Hancock and Peter Gabriel)

[@webstercat]

Zawinul So unusual, so unique, so refreshing,. You need a passport to listen to him.

[@louise_rose]

Yes, a great original - and a guy who escaped the holocaust as a child (he had 1/4 gypsy ancestry but managed to stay under the radar of the NaZ's.

[@sergio759]

Peter Erskine great great drummer Joe crazy genius

[@bengtdaat]

Love Zawinul's musical Universe,- one of a kind:)

[@royhalejunior]

I was privileged to work with this band I took 3 pairs of congas for Bobby Thomas Jnr to try and Joe Zawinul walked onto the stage and said what are you doing and BTJ said I need to try them out Zawinul said"..I thought you said you could play, if you can play you can play on cardboard boxes. ..true story

[@Rhythm911]

Drummers and percussionists always get grief from Askholes...maybe Zawinul needs to try a Guffing cardboard box. Arrogant baxterd !!! 😂

[@Cathomatic1]

This is the band that turned my head around in the 70s. AMAZING, right?

[@creamcheese1048]

right

[@janszczesny1619]

Cream Cheese 👌🤣

[@billvosteen1268]

This band is the spin off of Weather Report who played until 1985, This band is from the mid 1980's.

[@gerryg2012]

Saw this in 1983 at the Greek Theater in L.A. Mahavishnu Orchestra opened up for them. What an amazing night. A highlight of my 40 years of going to shows.

[@deangelostarnes1795]

I saw that tour in DC. I don't think it was '83 though. 85 or 86

[@Philrc]

this band formed in 1986

[@mariothepookster]

Joe Zawinul ... What can I say except: Yeah Man!!!!

[@stevekatz4372]

[@amboys1970]

[@KeithHedger]

Saw WR three times, saw this band (Weather Update), saw the Zainul solo tour, and saw the Syndicate 3-4 times. Zawinul was a true badass......I love his music.

[@JayMSinger]

...and let's not forget he composed the soulful track, 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy' for Cannonball!

[@deltalingua]

[@AndreasDivus1]

It's the first song on Di-a-lects called "The Harvest". One of my favorites.

[@webstercat]

Zawinul was so intense. Like he is a cook in the kitchen brewing up a stew.

[@34672rr]

Billy Barton Love his playing and arrangement, but his weakness is his synth patches. He has terrible taste in sounds. If he had hired a sound designer he would have been unstoppable even today. Maybe he should have gotten in with Bob Moog back in the day. Instead he went the route most keyboardists go, trying to use the latest technology, rather than what sounds good and timeless. Ironic how when musicians try to stay up to date their music does not age well.

[@webstercat]

I'm not so critical. He made a difference in music.

[@34672rr]

Billy Barton Yes, he did. He was an amazing musician. But as a musician myself, and a keyboardist who only plays vintage analog instruments, I can tell you that it's not just me who is saying this. And I can't even say it's the early digital synths he was using, because I have heard him play an ARP 2600, which is an amazingly fat analog synth, and he's playing the cheesiest sine wave patches. That was his weakness. I just think he was a great piano player and musician who was not talented at programming synths, that's all. Contrast that with Herbie Hancock, who made the coolest and most timeless sounds that to this day do not sound dated. I am a hater of the Yamaha DX7 with a passion, but Herbie managed to make it sound cool, because he had an ear for synth programming that Zawinul lacked. When Zawinul plays piano or Rhoades though, it's like a different musician playing, and that's where he shines.

[@earospace]

+wiremessiah I wonder why so many players copy his sounds?

[@34672rr]

***** Like who? I think because he was such a good player, his sounds were admired by a pavlovian response, but no synth player I have heard uses simple sine wave patches on an ARP 2600. And Herbie Hancock, which is a huge influence, is far more copied. If you listen to Herbie/headhunters and the amazing timeless sounds he used, and even his early digital stuff, then hear Zawinul's sounds, his patches sound cheesy and dated, like he picked the first preset. I just don't think Zawinul was talented at programming synths. When he plays the piano or Rhodes, he's great, and occasionally he will play a cool patch, but rarely.

[@slowneutron6163]

I love the good part of the internet.

[@aroulleauxdugage]

I love this guy

[@doceunodoceuno]

51:58 Esos solos de Zawinul...

[@hageir]

YES!!!!!!!!

[@levynic66]

lo maximo. Un cientifico de la musica

[@hrresonance]

Joe Zawinul & Lyle Mays the only 2 jazz keyboard players than make anything but cold electric jazz! These guys are/where the masters of their tools. Amazing the tones Zawinul uses. What year was this recording? Was it ever released on cd?Anyone....

[@JamesSmith-vk2ky]

Bailey is off the hook! But he always looks like he's Joe's hostage. 😉

[@jeffreysmith7349]

Joe showed the way...even now

[@RageOfDankology]

Nice guitar tone

[@gerryg2012]

Weather Update was essentially Report without Wayne Shorter , but instead Steve Khan on guitar. Khan is incredible. Listen to his Live Blades album.

[@ghart56]

PETER looks bored to tears.

[@someguy007]

.....

[@MoLahBeL3Bis]

Must desagree! He is in trance and involved, like the rest of the crew! Most often has eye-contact with Zawinul! Perhaps his glasses make you think he is bored! Cheers! Mo

[@nicolas121988]

victor bailey on bass

[@MrSteinfisk]

Consequenly from 24.00 is a Weather Report great.

[@bobbyohanesian4228]

Miss Him So Much.....Not Fair, he passes from a rare skin Disease.....I saw him with Weather Report in the early eighties, then Played with Jaco myself circa 1986? Then with Weather Report not long after Victor Bailey Joined the group.....

[@bbg9507]

Thanks for sharing this, amazing that this group can sound this exciting without sax. Any info about available cd or dvd?

[@sergeato2304]

une musique avec 50 ans d'avance sur son temps

9:01 - Joe sounds like an angry bear. :D

[@paxwallacejazz]

Since 73 JZ has used his tune Badia via WR to deliver his most inscrutable voodoo this is no exception. But kinda prefer the original versions.

Can someone post all these songs individually please? Would love to add them to my music playlist here

[@derekgunn1914]

Saw Weather Update in the Fall of 1986 in Boston. I believe it was supposed to be with Mahavishnu but Jonas Hellborg had a passport problem. Local fusion band "Tiger's Baku" opened up for Weather Update instead. This might have been at Berklee. Was anyone at this show? Anyone know the date of the show? September????

[@08atoll]

I come back!

[@donjose4656]

J'ai toujours aimé Weather Report depuis leurs débuts, mais dans le cas présent je préfère le jeu de basse de Linley Marthe que celui de Vic Bailey qui produit un son trop sec, qui manque de graves. Heureusement, Joe Z. renforce ces basses avec son clavier. Merci du partage, au fait, c'était en quelle année ce concert ?

[@ChristianUhlenhutMUSICIANEUM]

where was it recorded?

[@keinname629]

[@someguy007]

lol its like he went to demand a raise from his boss at 38:06

[@2ndEndingVintage]

This must be from around 1988ish ???? Why is the stage lighting so bad ? Looks like they are playing under the worklights...

[@CalebOrvik]

he really said weather update lmfaooooo

[@ichisatori]

hello cameraperson at 19’!!!!!!!

[@Philrc]

This isn't weather report it's a later zawinul band

[@crazy8sdrums]

Correct, it is 'Weather Update'...just like it is titled.

[@Philrc]

@@crazy8sdrums oh yes i misread it. Probably cos it's 3 in the morning here and I'm pretty tired

[@Toolpusher]

This is poor compared to the London concert on the same tour. The crowd behave more like they are at a classical concert than a Jazz-Fusion gig of the best performers of the time. At the London show Steve Khan was truly on fire, as was the rest of the band, in the best traditions of Weather Report. The audience responded like it was a rock show, an amazing night!

[@simom813]

This is not Weather Report. It's the Zawinul Syndicate.

[@crazy8sdrums]

Nope. It is Joe Zawinul's 'Weather Update'. Just like it is titled. Hope you enjoy it!

[@rinahall]

why?

[@Betterthantelly]

Joe fuckin Zawinul. Is there any doubt about that guy. Probably. But hey.

[@MackeyWilliams]

Man, the sound is really squashed. Anywhere to hear this with a better mix?

[@crazy8sdrums]

This recording is as old as you are. Buy a record.

[@MackeyWilliams]

I've got plenty of Weather Report records, junior, and I'm probably a good 20 years older than this recording. But keep trying to be clever. Even a broken clock is right 2x a day.

[@crazy8sdrums]

It isnt too clever to complain about KZbin video containing very rare footage of an incredible band from long ago. I am glad you enjoy this great music and were partially entertained by my upload.
