Joe Zawinul Syndicate Jazz Open Stuttgart 1997

[@jimbim4405]

In case you don't know the incredible story of this gig (as it is explained in German) is that ONCE AGAIN Paco Sery missed his flight for the gig. So there was the band, ready for a gig - but no drummer. So Joe asked if there was anyone in the audience who could play drums, and one David Haynes said that he could. It turns out that Haynes was Prince's drummer, so used to vamping and going with the flow. I think he has done an astonishing job. He clearly didn't know the tracks in advanced, and he still manages to not only handle himself well, but to also keep the band pulsing forward - a VERY difficult task with Zawinul at the helm. AMAZING!!

[@rhythmfield]

That is an absolutely wild story, and a Fantasy situation for people who love Zoe Z and this type of music. On the other hand, Joe was notoriously harsh and rough on Drummers, so if something wasn’t working or clicking, it could get very uncomfortable very fast I think… clearly this drummer was exactly the right person to handle this type of situation. Paco was a troubled genius and clearly the very very best drummer for this gig, but what a great story, thank you for this. I could’ve jumped up there and I would’ve survived, but not sure how many people really could. I don’t think I would’ve passed audition for this band but I would’ve survived sitting in.

[@jimbim4405]

@@rhythmfield Haha - Joe was "harsh and rough" on everyone - himself included... but it was a toughness wrapped-up in warmth snd affection. It was "generally" not mean-spirited, but more of a refection of the kind of background he came from, and - of course - the harshness of growing up in a war zone. All-in-all, however, it was Miles who said that you couldn't make this kind of music if you HADN'T lived Joe's life. It was PRECISELY those experiences which formed the mind that could create such beauty. Its kind of funny, however, having been a fan of Wayne Shorter for many years before the internet, that it was only when the internet started and we could see interviews and documentaries, that on seeing quite HOW Wayne seems to think, that the way he plays made complete sense!! An exceptionally unique view of the universe!!! And if you haven't seen one yet - I HIGHLY recommend it!! It will, if nothing else, make you smile...... And bringing this back to Paco, the very same is true. If you understand French, then seeing him interviewed will give insight into how he thinks ( or often - doesn't!!). A very adorable extrovert, but clearly a little out of the loop! Here's a good example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2WWmXaGeNGUi6M&ab_channel=RTIOfficiel

[@rhythmfield]

@@jimbim4405 Actually, sorry, Mr. Z was definitely capable of being mean-spirited. Read Peter Erskine‘s autobiography and then talk to me about Joe. Doesn’t take away his brilliance and tough life story definitely, tough old Viennese guy and the most unique of all jazz pianists and keyboard players.

[@jimbim4405]

@@rhythmfield Totally agreed. Rough'n'Tough but also with a gentle hand. I certainly would not have been prepared to take that shit from him. Seeing as though you are "up" on Joe and his foibles, I HIGHLY recommend a recent book by my mate Curt Bianchi who has written THE definitive history of Weather Report. Its called "Elegant People", and can be bought from Amazon. HIGHLY recommended!

[@Jez1963UK]

Thanks for this background. I did read somewhere that Joe said of Paco that he had terrible discipline. Kind of reminds me of the late great Chick Corea's issues with Scott Henderson, sacking him due to his 'lack of discipline'. Not saying Joe sacked Paco, personally, as an ex-drummer myself I absolutely adore Paco's playing. For David to step in like that is amazing and a great job, but it really misses all the accents, fills etc that Paco would add. I know these tunes like the back of my hand, he's just filling in (as would be expected).

[@DrUlrichSelz]

I think in 1996 I saw Joe Zawinul (nearly by accident) in a small jazzclub in Germany. I was 19 years old and I had been a jazz fan. But I didn't know the historical importance of Joe Zawinul at all. I was blasted away by the playing of Gary Poulson, the concert was absolutely outstanding! Victor Bailey was on bass. After the concert I talked to Gary Poulson, and told him how I liked his playing and how cool everything was. He responded, that at no time of the concert he was sure, what Zawinul originally wanted from him. Joe used his hand-signs all the time to show the band "something". I thought it follwed a plan. Gary told me about the difficulties to play with Joe and that he has a hard time. Surprisingly he really appreciated my opinion and we talked a while. After 10 minutes Joe showed up and interrupted us - he wanted to go back to the hotel. He said he was hungry :) I really love to think back this experience.

[@milo8796]

Nice story man. Classic joe. Probably needed a drink too.

[@allkeyspro6606]

Great story! Thanks!

[@arturcoutinho3034]

​@@allkeyspro6606 I would like to know. if He sings in a real language if ir does,whats it

[@arturcoutinho3034]

Whats the language J.Z.sing.if is a real One.

[@DrUlrichSelz]

@@arturcoutinho3034 Joe was from Austria. He sings in German with an Austrian slang. But sometimes it was just phantasy words, sounding like an african slang.

[@massimomasetti8787]

Ho 62 anni e grazie a Dio ho avuto la fortuna di vederlo anche con i Weather Report, poi ho assistito nella mia vita a 17 concerti con il SYNDICATE, Joe è stato e sarà per sempre unico e irripetibile, la sua grandezza e genialità era immensa, basti pensare quanti artisti ha portato con sé,ognuno a suo modo superlativi! Sarà che sono fissato per me è e rimarrà per sempre in assoluto uno tra i più grandi nella storia della musica! UN GENIO!.... P.S. in questo concerto la versione di " INDISCRETION " è a dei livelli da paura, fa venire i brividi, penso che ancora oltre, sarebbe stata la PERFEZIONE ASSOLUTA DELLA MUSICA!.... ancora grazie JOE pet tutto ciò che ci hai donato... R.I.P.

[@markobarrows]

JZ...one of the most profound composer, arranger, PLAYER, that ever strode this terra. He had the best musicians in his band because they wanted to be there. And he could box you up...as in boxing. He was a musical enigma and a true original. Bless his heart.

[@susanjohnson2068]

How true he was beyond description. In a great way. I started listening to W Report in early 80’s still do, and loved the Syndicate still do. I think about the pain he must have been in with skin cancer but pushed through to the end. Suffering for his art!! Thankful folks still want the experience of his genius.

[@hql400]

Bona gives the rhythm in beatboxstyle and the drummer plays perfect... ghosebumbs ! So goog musicians....

[@brookelyn7714]

He was one of the rare musical geniuses that will likely never been duplicated or that we will ever see another one like him! I miss his talent and his creativity so much. Respect to Zawinul and may he rest-in-peace!!!!

[@fabioperricone5500]

Splendidi musicisti, splendido ensemble e splendido band leader nonché compositore, arrangiatore, musicista eccelso. La sezione ritmica fa impressione e tutti sono di una compattezza e di una classe fuori dal comune. Un gruppo unico, fuori dagli schemi, inetichettabile, piú che innovativo. Joe poi é un genio e sarà ricordato per sempre! E quel sapore di jazz che ricorda Mamma Africa.....Semplicemente arcani e meravigliosi!

[@tomwauch3963]

NO ONE compares to the master of improve. Also he compiled the BEST bassists of all time! Miroslav Vitous, Alphonso Johnson, Jaco Pastorius, & Richard Bona. If I could only listen to one artist (desert island}, it would be Joe Zawinul!!

[@79trabant]

Still after all these years there is no jazz SOUND as Joe Zawinul's anymore!

[@robertniehsner1219]

3 times I had seen Joe live Everytime, it was so awesome, that I'm impossible to discribe my impressions and feelings

[@hansneuboeck4705]

I just saw this concert here again and it is awesome. I saw him a also 3 times and at on ocation in his Birdland in Vienna I had the chance to talk to him. He was an amazing person. I´ll never forget that. It was prior to the concert and he was in the guest room and we had an easy converstation.

[@MrPreliminary]

Joe can put it together. Excellent jazz group, good sound I enjoy this tube.

[@dimakubrakov676]

Joe Zawinul is like Osho in music. Full enlightenment.

[@funklover24]

David Haynes on drums - phantastic. He didn't even know he would be playing this concert. He just was in the audience. But Pavo Sery missed the flight and Zawinul needed somebody else. Unbelievable!

[@misrasaurabh1]

This sounds too good to be true, atleast from a technical standpoint. How can a drummer join a joe zawinul on stage without any practice? How does he know every part? Or was he already through the material of this band? If what you are saying true then its extremely extraordinary!

[@funklover24]

That's what they say at the beginning of the video. ;)

[@thomasromano9321]

Man, for somebody to just get up there and play that good.... maybe he was in on some future Zawinul Syndicate sessions too???

[@BOOOZB]

Zawinul m' a toujours mis des bulles dans le cerveau ! Depuis ma première découverte , son solo de piano dans > avec Youssef Lateef vers 1970 quand il était avec Cannonball Adderley . Il semble communiquer avec les autres musiciens sur un langage universel que les oiseaux doivent comprendre sans effort . Normal,donc qu'il emprunte la grande poésie de l' Afrique avec une telle facilité .

[@plectrum71]

Hold your horses :-) This "poor drummer" ( David Haynes ) played this gig by accident. He was in the audience while Zawinuls regular drummer missed the plane to Stuttgart and could not come. So Zawinul asked David to play. Considering this circumstances he played great.

[@falsenotefest]

Gosh that is incredible, he was extremely aware about the songs ah ah ....who can believe that ?, it is an history for the children, excuse me, or he was well known by Zawinul and a professionnal drummer...... Or perhaps he was the one that has disturb the plane....

And that's jazz, sometimes flying by the seat of your pants without any notice or rehearsals. Then there are our ever present and persistent jazz police always seeking something to tear down. I'd rather celebrate some spontaneity which btw is one of the most important ingredients of this art form. Exceptional drummer esp. under the circumstances.

Marcusmiller Don´t take ist too serious. Most of the stuff you hear, comes out of the racks

[@kimrunic5874]

+Marcusmiller Also, Zawinul got right into his synths and customised his palette of sounds over years of tweaking, whereas a lot of lesser players would go for the new unit because it was new. Dumping a synth for Joe would have meant throwing out years of painstaking work.
