Scott Kinsey - Luniwaz - Live: The Music Of Joe Zawinul [Vinyl]

'Luniwaz Live' continues the success of keyboardist Scott Kinsey 2019's album 'We Speak Luniwaz' with this further exploration of Joe Zawinul's legacy - this time on a searing live recording. For accomplices, Kinsey chose his ace rhythm section from WSL - bassist Hadrien Feraud and drummer Gergo Borlai - and a bold newcomer named Patrick Bartley Jr. on alto saxophone. Kinsey augments the core band with guests Meredith Salimbeni (vocals), Pedro Martins (guitar) and Bobby Thomas Jr. (percussion) on two tracks each. According to Kinsey, "Meredith came to this music recently but she's such a great musician and contributes important melodic ideas. Pedro has a deep love and knowledge of all things Zawinul and plays some remarkable stuff on the two studio tracks. Bobby was a member of both the Zawinul Syndicate and Weather Report, and his additions are wonderful too." Honouring Zawinul with originality and fire requires something extraordinary. Scott Kinsey's group did that nightly, but the fire was especially hot one night in Prague and we are fortunate it's been captured on 'Luniwaz Live'. A1. Young and Fine A2. Volcano for Hire A3.
