I disagree ldb. idb, can you go in depth about the signing of jazz? it must have been a great concert played "Amazing grace" last Thursday maybe anil but i think it is true jaco is amazing, but i don't think he's a very wise person I read that new on Bas Player few months ago, that's all oh, alright The music industry is a total train wreck when it comes to jazz-related musics. So, in a way it's up to us to be the people who promote this outside of our circles.

It sounded really cool in the concert ok one question at a time please... :-) <_victor_B> I'll answer both questions.The song consequently was on the first demo I ever sent to Joe and wayne.It's the only song on all the WR records that really sounds like me.After so many years of such a strong bass presence with jaco they wanted a more functional role from the bass,but on my tune "Consequently" you see that I'm much more than a Groove guy *** Marco_Zawinul sets mode: -v jurcika14 *** Marco_Zawinul sets mode: +v que 4,8go que! who will join you with bill evans this summer? *** ldb has joined #zawinulfans 4,8stupid (sorry) you're the next.. :) LOLLLLLLLLL btw consequently was great, glad you got that on there <_victor_B> I don't know when I'll be in Slovenia again.It doesn't matter if the place was small.In the usa these days you can't even play a small place playing serious music.Yes I still have the Pensa Suhr bass.It's a great bass but as jaco said 25 years ago the soung is in your hands not the bass.he was niot being facetious! another question que? are you upset to miss the zawinul tour? 4,8 Sorry, steve is the next, then stupid :) <_victor_B> Bill's band for the summer is David Gilmore guitar,Scott Kinsey(from Tribal tech) keyboards and a hot new young drummer from NYC marloin browden *** Marco_Zawinul sets mode: -v que *** Marco_Zawinul sets mode: +v SteveS3001 4,8go steve! <_victor_B> Hey ingrid what's lollllll mean? eheh victor!! :-) Greetings Victor!

Laughin' OUT Loud the estra l-s are when I am almost falling out of my chair eheh ingrid :-) !! yes, Marco! <_victor_B> Practice,do your homework,listen to your parents and don't make any babies til you grow up boy! Hey Victor..you are some cool dude :-) lol.......thanks A quick note -after seeing Stanley Clarke play at the IMAC in Huntington, NY, my dad and I loved him. Before the show, the guy announced that you and bunch of other dudes were going to play at the theater, so we're definitely going to check you out. I hear you are pretty equal with Stan in your genre of music and abilities! *** Marco_Zawinul sets mode: -v SteveS3001 *** Marco_Zawinul sets mode: +v stupid 4,8Go Stupid!

Part one: I was wondering if you found it odd that Joe Z. found it necessary to introduce you at every Syndicate gig -- right through last year -- as the guy that replaced Jaco in Weather Report? What was the purpose? Part two: Given the fact you're unfairly constantly referred to as a Jaco successor (your styles being very different), why cover and modify "Continuum" on your last solo CD? Doe 4,8theboz you're the next.. bass players are used to keeping everyone on stage content Hello boz!! 4,8 thomas you're the next.. (before theboz) sorry...i'll wait for my answer :-) Victor i have a question... marco, not yet. one at a time eheh :) lolllllllllllllllllllllll <_victor_B> Hey idb,if you write about Jaco do me a favor for a change,write about the great and good thngs the man gave us.So much of what's written about him makes him out to be this madman,which is not who i knew.He had sometrouble at the end but who he was was a special,great cat.Write about that OK? thomas, do you know what "ban" is? :-) no eheh :) ..thanks you so much, Victor! <3 I've been told by several people who worked with Jaco that his biography should be filed in the fiction section... Sure Victor, I consider Jaco as a brother... I would never live without his music!! <_victor_B> Consequently has nothing whatsoever to do with continuum.I can,t answer any questions regarding sony/WR.That's joe and waynes' dealing i'm not involved in the business side i bet sony isn't involved too :o) actually..., :o( the trading thing comes to mind :-) Victor i saw u+J.Z.Syndicate In Mantova Jazz Festival last year and i also took a picture with u (it's my pc desktop background image).I'm not a great expert of music, i just listen and love good music and you're part of it. Thanks for all you do! 8,4Please go with questions friends! Mantova - gofd bless Andreas Hofer Hey Ingrid -- There was a rumor buzzing that Milkowski was actively shopping a screenplay version of his Jaco bio to Hollywood folk. Is this true? <_victor_B> These days big labels aren't releasing music because it's good.So if you talk about WR music,as great as it is,when they see Kenny G selling 50,000,000 (that's right fifty million) records the qulity of the music takes a baxkseat I don't know if it is true.....I have heard that buzz for about 5 years now....I would not be surprised..... What's the family's take on the Milkowski book? To Victor: I'd like You to come to Italy for clinics, lessons...please Victor!!! 4,8Victor you told me that you're on next Zawinul album, can you give us some details? hey guys, i'm back yes, the quality of the minds who make the choices.. having dinner for Father's Day <_victor_B> If they do a Jaco movie,maybe I could play Victor Bailey! *** Ernesto has joined #zawinulfans eheh victor! :) by the way, to all those fathers out there.....HAPPY FATHERS DAY Happy Fathers Day to all you dads great Victor thanks... thanks Ingrid Victor Bailey actually signed my Heavy Weather lp as jaco Pastorius, great thing. lolll...but Victor, they might ask you to play Jaco... *** Morgan has quit IRC (Ping timeout) better than ben affleck! but then, who would play you? hi everybody! bill cosby Felix! :) bahhaaha! LOLLLL victor needs to eat more pudding pops first. hehehe Yesss... Felix as Victor! <_victor_B> I love milkowski but he didn'tknow jaco.He was around him in the last most difficult part of his life so that's mostly what his book documents.I'd like to come to Italia for clinics too,but time is tight.Bill cosby,he's about 25 years older than me! Victory, did Bill quote you in the book? 4,8Victor you told me that you're on next Zawinul album, can you give us some details? nice talking to you guys! i got to go.... zawa-who? :-) <_victor_B> Felix gon' have to got some mo' sun then! bye Steve who cares, special effects (hello mr. spielberg) will make him look even younger than you so long ingrid *** SteveS3001 has left #zawinulfans lollll..yes, but he got the lips <_victor_B> I'll say nothing about the new zawinul,just wait...... hehehaha 4,8Hey that's my only question Victor, can you answer please? :-) that was your question next one please Victor -- Do you think it's fair to say the Syndicate needs to shake up its live repertoire a bit? <_victor_B> There's not much to tell you about joe's new record yet ohhh...and that says a lot!!! ok wrong question... :) Victor, did Bill quote you in the book? To Ingrid & Victor: sorry, but I've got to go....PRACTICE, tomorrow night I've got a gig to play, and I don't know what to ply on "Autumn Leaves"!!!!!!!!!!!

Pat Metheny aint so fond of KennyG either...I LOATHE "soft jazz"!!! EeeeYuch!!! At the risk of being Mr. Pain in the Ass: Ingrid, any update on Portrait of Jaco? Jeroen is good :) Victor i'm a great fan of Pino Daniele, you played in Medina. Any consideration to tell us. How was playing with Pino? Yr impression on his music if you don't like the music - don't buy it. the kenny g thing is discussed to death already. nope..last update is that it will be released on Dec One any update now, would be a change... Cool. <_victor_B> Victor wootens' got a lot of incredible things happening on the bass.Still a little hung up in tricks and gimmicks for my taste but still a great bassist.I'm using EBS amps from sweden.The amps and cabs are great sounding.As lond as you play jazz you gotta love Ikea!When you go platinum then you can hate it! ...sorry ;-) Victor, have you ever played upright on certain gigs? sorry...;-) Sorry Ingrid is Felix your son? 4,8Victor i'm a great fan of Pino Daniele, you played in Medina. Any consideration to tell us. How was playing with Pino? Yr impression on his music yes, Ernesto <_victor_B> Pino Danielle is a VERY soulful musician.I heard of him but never heard his music before I wirked with him.he has a lot a feeling in his music I can dig it baby!!! si Victor -- Describe the chemistry between you and Paco Sery. That was a m*f* of a rhythm section. Still in touch with the guy? candombe 4,8 Victor -- Describe the chemistry between you and Paco Sery. That was a m*f* of a rhythm section. Still in touch with the guy? Did Felix played on I Can Dig it Baby... ? you mean with Hugo, yes? <_victor_B> I played upright when I stared but i never played on gigs.I have one at home and I've been practiceing for a year.But I'm too skinny i can't carry that thing around In that case, yes haha 4,8 Victor -- Describe the chemistry between you and Paco Sery.

I think he saw it Marco. :-) I'm almost blind now. eheh anil :) *** gordons has joined #zawinulfans yes, before the mix probably..that is the one we heard I've heard they are doing the mixing .. the record must be almost ready cant wait When's Felix gonna record? yes, me too.. <_victor_B> Paco is such a natural musician playing with him is a breeze.He just doesn't show up at the gig sometimes.There a vocal song on my new cd called "Where's Paco".It tells the whole story Where's Paco??? Too funny man. Felix has been recording...just taking his time.. Paco is not a drummer is a living drummachine What sorta stuff is he doing? there's a paco story on the z video too, had troubles with the passport... mebbe you could call it "A-Paco-Lapse Now" (sorry) with Bobby T he is doing mostly duets, trios... kinda eclectic... and rebelling the jazz police... I'm really pleased to meet you Ingrid, I'm the guy who translated Candombe.com for Neil <_victor_B> Don't rush felix.Let him grow up and develope a strong sense of self.Because of his history whenever he breaks out there's gonna be a whirlwind around him and the B.S. people will be the first ones in line.Let's let him grow up a bit first OHHH...HI Ernesto...great job!! how old is felix? 4,8Victor, what is the best 1983-1986 Weather Report song in your opinion? And of course I'm a candombe head!!! I agree, Victor...can you tell him that? At 19, with only me as a parent.. I do not impress him as much any more Is there anyone out there that knows what candombe is all about! <_victor_B> Best song-D flat Waltz son are the same all over the world ingrid... Victor, Please Name some drummers you'd like to play w/ but have not had the opportunity with... 4,8Victor, i saw the version that is on the "Japan Domino Theory" video and it's terrific!! :-) candombe is overwhelming... kinda mesmerizing... especially in a large group Victor, how do you feel about people trading live recordings (as long as it's not for money)? where have you heard it? finally anil 4,8 Victor, Please Name some drummers you'd like to play w/ but have not had the opportunity with... I'd like to hear you w/ JackDeJohnette! 4,8 Victor, how do you feel about people trading live recordings (as long as it's not for money)? oi, i need to put on sunglasses. from a tape, done live at one of those Sunday events eheh anil!! :O) marco, would you like to become my answering machine? lolllllllllll <_victor_B> He's might be one of the best bassists in Florida already.it would be good if he could go to NYC sometimes just to remind him that even if he's great he's still 19 and there's a long way to go.That's what happened to me when I went to ny that young and it wass good for me I get the feeling Felix is going to be pretty well-prepared for the horse and pony show when it begins... He goes to NY a lot.... but if he needs to take his time, then NY might not be a place to go That often.. err, dog and pony show that is. yes, thanks aprasad..sure is a goal <_victor_B> Trading music is a tough question.It's still taking money out of our childrens mouths,but what can we do about it. trading live shows? But if the preponderance of people trading music are the same people that have bought every single iota of your released music, how does it take money away? Napster...? <_victor_B> I'd love to plat with Jack D too he's awesome! I'm not talking about piracy here -- but rather unreleased live recordings. i'm trading and purchase every officially released album 4,11 But if the preponderance of people trading music are the same people that have bought every single iota of your released music, how does it take money away? 4,11 I'm not talking about piracy here -- but rather unreleased live recordings. whoa. psychedelic. (cyan is better anil?) :-) marco, try magenta hehehehe * Marco_Zawinul slaps Thomas around a bit with a large trout I know it's a big question.... hahahahahahahaalollllll <_victor_B> How did they get those live recordings?Bringing a recorder to my show?that's illegal! God knows the Pastorius' estate has had to grapple with it. !!!!!!! Commies! (commies referring the taping infiltrators) God Bless you all & thanks for all the GREAT music...see you at the show! Peace OUT! victor, or recording a show that's aired by a radio station 4,8Victor, what do you think about the Jason Miles' WR tribute? so true....so beyond that... they don't even want spend their energy grappling... though it is a constant jab at the heart.... woo. :-) there's a good one Marco. :-) thanks anil :) bye ashplyr <_victor_B> That's illegal too but impossible to do anything about.I did it before i had a record deal so I CAN relate <_victor_B> Jason Miles WR tribute is B.S. hehehe B.S.? LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ahhhh!

Didn't Joe called it "The worst album in history?" *** ashplyr has quit IRC (QUIT: ) yes! wow aprasad... so sad , yet at the same time I think it is great victor, did you expect that miles' album would be bull shit? 4,11 victor, did you expect that miles' album would be bull shit? Said legend's initials are A.M. <_victor_B> A guy calls all of us to play on a session for him,then the recdord comes out and there's the name WR big on the front,with my name fson Miles name?irst at the top,and where's Ja Man, expectations were so high for that WR tribute disc.... I can't believe what actually emerged. 5 aprasad "spit" the name... It's not like it's a secret anyway, but it's Airto Moreira. i purchased it on the first day it was out - a disaster I just don't want him getting in trouble. ........................ *** Disconnected Session Close: Mon Jun 18 00:14:10 2001
