"VOLUNTEER WORK at the TORONTO DOWNTOWN JAZZ FESTIVAL"



The Zawinul Syndicate in action at the Toronto Star Venue at the Nathan Phillips Square, Downtown Toronto. The crowd wouldn't let them go. Awesome!!!


Joe Zawinul, Me and bassist Linlay Marthe after soundcheck. I did Green Room duties.


Linlay Marthe, fantastic bassist!! He's from Mauritius and he's slammin'. Plays an old, beat-up Fender Jazz Bass.
Great sound, great feel. great time, great attitude. Great everything!
This bassist will feature in many important musical undertakings in the future. Watch out for him!.


Sabine, the wonderful singer of the Zawinul Syndicate. She's from Belgium.


I finally meet the great percussionist Manolo Badrena. A great example of a true star. Most of the greats are humble people.
I never let his hands get wet when he wanted a drink.
He was enthusiastic about Manila when I mentioned it to him.
He was supposed to be in Michael Frank's entourage but was busy elsewhere. His solos are jaw-droppers.
Very unassuming guy but he's tops in my book! Look at all that oil on our faces! Hey it's hot out here.
