Zawinul Syndicate Joe Zawinul/Italy 1992 Jewel Version

Joe Zawinul formed the Zawinul Syndicate in 1988, looking beyond African music while fully inheriting the spirit of Weather Report. This 53-minute recording of a live performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy, broadcast on television, is a must-see for fans. Super playing by the superb rhythm section of Gerald Veasley (b) and Rodney Holmes (ds)!!! The diverse coloring with strong ethno-African influences by Bobby Thomas and the documentary value of how innovative Zawinul and the syndicate were at the time are also of great value. The final epic story, “Carnavalito,” is a masterpiece! Live at Umbria Jazz Festival, Perugia, Italy 1992 1.Patriots 2.Madagascar 3.Pua Paula Freitas 4.San Sebastian 5.Carnavalito
