I agree, the bass player is completely insane. The tempos set by 75 y.o. terminally ill Joe fucking Zawinul. Can the world please give proper props to this great man?

This is extraordinary. The rhythms, key changes and melodies are insane. Linley Marthe drives the band. I love the way they all keep looking across at Joe for the directions. Just when you think they have reached the peak it goes up a whole new level. Saw this band at the Camden Jazz Cafe the same year. JZ is sorely missed. The Master.

[@cinereus3601]

JZ was the last great master. It went all downhill when he died.

[@stefanblue660]

For me the most exciting and best grooving fusion group since the 90s.

[@ericgricourt1999]

J'ai eu le bonheur de voir jouer leZAWINUL SYNDICATE ORQUESTRA à Athis-Mons quelques temps avant le décès du maitre Zawinul. Concert fabuleux. Quel grand homme! Quelle perte.

[@papankunci]

How on earth could people dislike this? What an Band of Maestros! we miss you Joe .. RIP..

[@Jazz2Groove2]

Joe Zawinul was a master composer, eclectic and visionary. A true champion and advocate of World music.

[@GjaP_242]

He and his musicians who form the band demonstrate exactly that, man! 6:42

Music is the universal language that everyone speaks. 2:46

Unbelievable, these are WARRIORS not musicians RIP Zawinul

[@brunofelipebx]

The only thing who I can say to Joe is Thanks for your music! They changed my life.

[@iMikeyLuv]

Just came across this track....the Syndicate laying down an alien sound. A lively break neck pace on this one. Felt like being transported to a different place. Enjoyed very much and a big shout out to the superb playing. Thanks to all.

In Miles Davis biography, Miles states,"I needed to let Joe go, because that dude has more skills and rythmn than any musician I know. I don't want to play backup for Joe". RIP Joe

I'm surprised its rythmn he mentioned. For me it's his harmony and melody thats mesmerizing 🤯🤪😱

Zawinul was ALL about groove and rhythm...harmony and melody, although integral to his music, were always backseat riders

Absolute genius. This is pure class from start to finish. Zawinal's death was a very very sad loss for jazz fusion.

[@sommelierramon]

Loss for ALLL music. More than lots.

[@stuartroyle1402]

stunning,i was a big zawinul fan after being turned on to him ,and others, by my jazz man cousin around 1972,,i was still into bob,stones/zep etc.,then came weather report and finally I got to see this band AND to meet uncle joe,,,,play football and share a beer with him,,,something I will never forget,,as an aside,when introduced to joe on the tour bus by his son i produced the ZAWINUL vinyl sleeve for him to sign,he asked me my name and half way through writing he stopped and said is that stuart with an a or an e!!!!,he was switched on.thank you joe.

Joe Zawinul As a composer, jazz keyboardist, bandleader and hit-maker, he put his stamp on five decades of music - through his own bands, Weather Report (co-founded with saxophonist Wayne Shorter) and the Zawinul Syndicate, and also the tunes he wrote for Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis.

The MASTER! There just ain't nobody better IMHO. Miss you Joe sooooo much!

[@maurocordi5100]

Such perfect and tight groove it's really like a train that sweeps me! I'll miss you great Zawinul...

[@chrismarkbayne]

Such a superb performance by Zawinul and his band Syndicate. I think Joe passed away shortly after this. I continue to listen to his work, such an awesome collection, it still inspires me to this day! ❤️🎶

[@gerardmacaque1552]

One of the best bass player in the world!! Of Mauritian origin.A little island in the Indian Ocean. His name is Linley Marthe.

[@SOGNAMETAL]

Absolutely agree, I saw him with a Dutch band called BZZZ PUK, absolutely mindblowing!

[@DanielRiera]

Thought it was Jaco at first

[@Perryproduction]

Among all the fantastic rythms. AND Joe Zawinuls whispering, like no other, and caressing his keys, as well as his amazing soundscape. The bassplayer is insanly good: Fingers like Flee Accuratess and preciseness as Billy Cobham Melodies like Jan Hammer Playing bass, not guitarsolo, like a real man And in the middle of music and grooving the bass is surfing on top of the harmonics I am blown out my mind! Maby, for real, on my top 3 best bass in my life! And I am 65!!

[@Thisisspacemusic]

I was going to say that bass player is a monster! Thanks for the info!

[@markvincent4460]

Joe always had best bass players and percussionists in the world; there is a pecking order in jazz and everyone wanted to play with him including Miles Davis.

Fantastic Joe Zawinul! I love his music. Great founder of Whether Report along with the late Jaco Pastorius and Wayne Shorter... obviously!

[@MrAllright2]

@Lucius Prime Well, your'e getting a bit finicky about the details here! Jaco Pastorius contributed to WR's success and special sound so much that I would personally say he IS one of the founders.

[@MrAllright2]

What's more, I'm not sure anyone, apart from the very fans I belong in, remembers M.Vitous or A.Johnson (great bass players, don't mistake me, but who enjoyed success in other contexts) as bass player in WR.

[@richardshansky3040]

Olivier Perrier I do remember them both on the early WR studio albums. Mysterious Traveller (Alphonso Johnson) might be my favorite album of all-time of any genre of music.

[@ricardovoltini2875]

@@MrAllright2 calling someone a founder who came to the band many years later is not quite the way this term is used. But I agree, that his influence during his time was indeed important. He was certainly one of the greatest bass players / musician. And a lost soul as well. But weather report was founded clearly many years before he joined them
